What happens if an applicant does not meet the Selective Placement Factor?

An applicant who does not meet the Selective Placement Factor cannot proceed with their application. Selective Placement Factors are specific requirements set for certain positions because they specify essential criteria that candidates must fulfill to be eligible for consideration. These factors may include specialized skills, experience, or particular qualifications essential for performing the job effectively. If an applicant does not meet these key criteria, it signifies that they do not possess the necessary qualifications needed for the position, thus disallowing them from advancing in the application process.

Other options present potential outcomes that do not align with the policy regarding Selective Placement Factors. For instance, being considered for the position or appealing the decision implies that there is room for evaluation or reconsideration, which is typically not the case when fundamental eligibility requirements are not met. Similarly, receiving a notification of eligibility suggests that the applicant would be deemed eligible for further evaluation, which contradicts the stipulation that failing to meet these factors results in discontinuation of their application process.
