Please note that candidates designated as Highly Recommended and Recommended in 2023 or 2024 individual or pool competitions will have that designation carried over for 2025 and will not require an interview for similar positions. If this applies to the candidate's situation, they do not need to apply to the pool completion but must apply to individual competitions. Only candidates that require an interview will be selected for the pool.

Interviews that occur during this hiring season will be designated as Recommendable or Not Recommendable at this time. Thus, going forward, the Recommendable designation will carry over and will equal the Highly Recommendable that will be phased out. Candidates must apply to individual competitions.
