ICMARC Associate Handbook August 2016

Internal Applicants Qualified ICMA‑RC associates are encouraged to apply for positions within ICMA‑RC that afford them professional growth and opportunity. Internal candidates should remember three key criteria: 1) TENURE IN CURRENT POSITION Before applying for a new position, you should serve a minimum of 12 months in the position for which you were hired or in a new position to which you have been promoted or transferred. The exceptions to this rule, which must be approved by the division head and Human Resources, are: P P Because of licensing requirements, the Participant Services unit within Client Services strongly encourages an 18-month period of service for a new associate who begins work with ICMA‑RC without FINRA licenses but who acquires those licenses within the initial months of work. New associates who acquire FINRA licenses while employed by ICMA‑RC and leave the corporation within 18 months may be required to reimburse ICMA‑RC for any costs associated with obtaining those licenses. P P If an associate is interested in a position within his or her division, the division head may waive the 12-month or 18-month waiting period provided that business needs can still be met. This 12-month or 18-month waiting period does not apply to upgrades to a position within the same job category (e.g., promotion from Associate I to Associate II). 2) NOTIFICATION OF SUPERVISOR If you are scheduled for an interview for another position within the corporation, you must notify your supervisor of the interview. Additionally, it is always important for you to discuss your plans and career aspirations with your supervisor, who can guide you and offer advice. 3) INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEWS If you are uncertain as to whether you meet the minimum qualifications of the posted position, you may request an informational interview with the assigned recruiter, the hiring manager or a Human Resources manager. If you request an informational interview with the hiring manager, the interview should be first arranged with the assigned recruiter or Human Resources manager. You do not need to inform your supervisor if you are scheduled for an informational interview. Posting Current Job Opportunities Job opportunities are generally posted on headquarters bulletin boards, in Outlook/Public Folders/Job Postings, and on UltiPro, which is accessible via my.icmarc.org . (See Recruitment on page 65.) The job posting briefly describes the position and the division or department where it is located. In general, positions are posted both internally and externally at the same time. Qualified internal candidates who apply prior to the posting deadline are given first consideration for interviewing; and internal candidates can apply for the position until it is filled. Some positions are not posted, such as a unit, functional or divisional reorganization or an inline progression. Associates must apply for job openings via UltiPro. Further information can be obtained by contacting the Human Resources recruiter listed on the posting. ICMA‑RC reserves the right to make exceptions to the posting policy and process.
