ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION - 4111.01
The hiring of certificated staff for the Irvine Unified School District is an eight-step process. To clarify this process the following guidelines have been developed.
1. Policy Review
Review each of the following policies and administrative regulations prior to beginning the process:
- Personnel Recruitment and Selection

2. Position Identification
Identify each position to be filled adhering to the posting and reassignment procedures
3. Personnel Requisition
- Send a Personnel Requisition (Appendix C) to Human Resources. Indicate whether the position is new or a replacement:
- New position: added position for site or program.
- Replacement position: replacement for resignation, retirement, transfer, or leave of absence.
2. Attach job description to Personnel Requisition.
(NOTE: You must list those unique aspects of the job on the requisition, if you plan to use them as a screening tool in the selection process. Human Resources will list them on the posting notice.)

The interviews are scheduled by the school/program administrator. The interview team should meet prior to the interview to review the process and to develop the standard set of questions asked of all candidates.
Candidates may have been through a general interview prior to their addition to the applicant database. The school/program interview should focus on the specific needs of the school/program.
