Common use of External Competition Clause in Contracts

External Competition. (1) If no internal candidate is clearly acceptable, the vacancy shall be advertised externally in such publications as the Ad Hoc Committee for the position concerned may deem appropriate consistent with the provisions of Article 9.1. (2) The Committee shall review all external applications, interview as it sees fit and, if a suitable applicant is found, shall make a recommendation of appointment to the Peer Evaluation Committee. The Committee may also recommend that a confirmed appointment be offered. From this point the procedures shall be those indicated in Article 9.7(b)(v). The Committee may be requested by the University Librarian to substantiate its rejection of a candidate. Unsuccessful candidates shall be notified promptly of the decision not to hire them. (c) In cases where a professional librarian employee holding a confirmed appointment is appointed to a different position from that held as a result of competition or transfer, the initial appointment to the new position shall be for a period of one (1) year. Three (3) months prior to the end of the year, a performance appraisal shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Article 11.3 to determine whether the appointment to the new position shall be made a continuing one. The appointment shall be renewed upon the recommendation of the Peer Evaluation Committee to the University Librarian. In the event that the employee does not wish or is not able to continue in the position, or that the employer finds the employee's performance unsatisfactory, the employee shall be transferred to an equivalent position without loss of previous salary or benefits and subject to the provisions of Article 38.2(a).
