EMPLOYMENT PROCEDURES FOR NON-CLERICAL POSITIONS:
2.13 Request To Fill Vacant Positions: Each Elected Official/Department Head must submit a
personnel action "Nueces County Form 1 (NCF-1)" to the Department of Human Resources with the
necessary specifications of the vacancy. For the convenience of county departments, a supply of
NCF-1 forms will be maintained in the Department of Human Resources. The Director of Human
Resources will then process the completed form through the Auditor's office to the Commissioners
Court for approval. Given such approval by the Commissioners Court, the Director of Human
Resources personnel director will then forward to that department head, a certified list of eligible
applicants to fill the position.
2.14 Applications: Applications for non-clerical jobs are only accepted for positions for which the
County is currently recruiting.
Individuals wishing to apply for an open non-clerical position must submit a completed Nueces
County Form 2 (NCF-2, "Employment Application"), and any other documents required by the
announcement, prior to the closing date for each position for which they wish to be considered.
Resumes will be accepted in addition to the completed application.
2.15 Pre-screening and Certification: To insure that minimum qualifications are met, each
application for each position will be pre-screened by the Department of Human Resources and
referred to the appointing department in the form of a "CERTIFIED LIST of NON-CLERICAL
APPLICANTS." These certification list(s) will be active for 90 days. Vacancies that occur in
positions for which the current certified list offers qualified applicants may be filled from the current
list(s). The appointing authority may also request a new list, even if a current certification list is in
effect. The new certification list will include applicants who have been certified since the previous
list. The pre-screening and certification process stated herein will not apply to county employee
positions such as the County Agriculture Extension Agent, wherein a state agency or other source
provides for pre-screening and certification.
2.16 Interview of Applicants: Elected officials/department heads will be responsible for deciding
who to interview from the list of certified applicants that is provided by the Department of Human
Resources. Final selection for each position will be made from this list of applicants. If there is
more than one position vacant in the same class that is being recruited, the appointing authority may
select applicants from the same list.
