This includes recruitments open to only employees currently employed by the agency, to state employees currently employed in any state agency, or the general public. An agency head may authorize an exception to the job posting requirement for a position in an individual case. Any exceptions shall be documented by the agency head and subject to audit by the Director.

B. Application form.

1. A candidate for a position shall complete the standardized application form developed by the Director.

C. Preferences.

1. The state will provide preference to qualified veterans and disabled veterans seeking employment with the state.

2. For positions in the covered service, preference points authorized by A.R.S. § 38-492 shall be added to an applicant's grade on any assessment or evaluation that results in a numeric grade after the final grade is determined, if a passing grade is earned without the addition of preference points. Preference points shall not be applied to promotional examinations. If an evaluation does not result in a numeric grade, preference shall be given by granting applicable preference codes to qualified applicants.
