Home

Merit Appeals Board MR. LEOPOLDINO: Correct. March 10, 2022 CHR. CABANAS: to perform the marketing strategies. So, I was kind of surprised with that. The main thing I want to say is especially because the 42 or 43 jobs were posted continuously and the HR Recruitment Coordinator contract hire was advertised that that actually should be— have been brought up to the Board before it appeared. Because when I saw it, I was to be honest I was taken aback. I was, "What is that?" Because there was no mention of that prior to us meeting. So, that's why the importance of us having the monthly reports and—if it's not confidential with sharing with the Board, if you can kindly do that so we all know, "Oh, this is already being planned and it's coming down the pike"—kind of thing. Yeah. But, yeah, I think a very strong media blitz and marketing is really essential at this point. Can you explain to the Board what happens when you get an applicant—let's take a Pana`ewa Administrator recruitment. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Mm-hmm. CHR. CABANAS: Let's say you get 10 applicants today. And out of the 10 only one person meets the minimum qualification requirements. Can you explain to the Board what happens with that one person that's now qualified. MR. LEOPOLDINO: So, this would be an open recruitment? CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Okay. CHR. CABANAS: The continuous ones. MR. LEOPOLDINO: Okay. CHR. CABANAS: I want them to sense the flow of what's happening now where the staff is screening the application and now you have someone that meets the minimum qualification requirements what are you doing with that one qualified—even it's only one—what are you doing with the one qualified individual. MR. LEOPOLDINO: So, the one qualified—so all the positions advertised under "continuous" any time we get any qualified application at any point, that person is referred right away to the department especially now.
