Interview Selection
ICMA‑RC makes an effort to conduct personal interviews with all qualified internal candidates. Internal
applicants who are notified that they do not meet the minimum qualifications for the position may request
an informational meeting with the recruiter or hiring manager, if desired. Be sure to review the brochure
“Information for Internal Applicants” on the ICMA‑RC intranet for details and interviewing tips.
Testing
ICMA‑RC may administer relevant testing to both internal and external applicants. Applicants will be
notified at the time of application if testing will be required for the posted position.
Confidentiality
It is important to maintain the confidentiality of the interview process at all times. Potential candidates and all
information regarding filling an open position will be held in strict confidence consistent with all applicable
law. Associates who conduct interviews must refrain from discussing any applicant with any person who is
not directly involved in the interview or selection process and who has not agreed to maintain confidentiality
regarding the candidates.
