List Order

Hire employees from your certified list in this order, which is the order in which names should appear:

• NextSTEP
• Reemployment
  • Subdivisional
  • Departmental
  • General
• Surplus/SROA
• Promotional
• Open

Technically, appointments from surplus/SROA lists are transfers, not list appointments. Surplus/SROA employees take precedence over all promotional and open list appointments. (See Government Code Sections 19052 and 19054.)
