What happens to eligibles' names that are not selected from a certificate?

The correct answer is that eligibles' names that are not selected from a certificate remain in the active inventory for further opportunities. This means that candidates who are not chosen for a specific position retain their eligibility for other job openings that may arise. Keeping these names in the active inventory allows for a more efficient hiring process, as eligible applicants can be considered for multiple positions without needing to reapply or go through the entire vetting process again.

This practice ensures that qualified candidates have ongoing opportunities for employment, enhancing the likelihood that they will be matched with suitable positions quickly. Additionally, it supports the overall goal of streamlined recruitment and maximizes the use of existing eligible lists by providing agencies with a broader pool of potential hires.
