Run the RS-Priority Placement process on a selected job opening or on all open job openings.

Applicants with priority placement are entitled to automatic consideration for job openings that meet certain criteria, even if the applicant hasn't specifically applied for the job opening. Use the RS - Priority Placement (HRS_PRI_PLCM) Application Engine process to identify those applicants for one or more job openings.

The Priority Placement process identifies applicants that have the same priority placement code, pay plan, and occupational series as the job opening that is being processed. It also ensures that the applicant's Salary Grade is equal to or greater than the grade specified on the job opening.

When an applicant has two priority placement codes for a particular job, and only one priority placement code method can be considered for that job series, the process determines which code to use by looking at the recruiting type (Internal, Merit Promotion, or Open Competition) that was defined on the job opening.

The Priority Placement process links applicants to job openings using the default disposition (as delivered, this is the Applied disposition). Once linked to the job opening, the applicant goes through the same screening process as other applicants.

Note: Run the Priority Placement process after the closing date of the job posting and before running other screening processes.

Use the Process Priority Placement page (HRS_RUN_PR_PL) to run the RS-Priority Placement process on one job opening or all open job openings.
