§ 284.320. Suspension of requirements of competitive evaluation for appointments to positions requiring exceptional scientific, professional or expert qualifications or for which recruitment has been extremely difficult

1. In case of a vacancy in a position where peculiar and exceptional qualifications

of a scientific, professional or expert character are required, and upon satisfactory

evidence that for specific reasons competitive evaluation in that case is impracticable,

and that the position can best be filled by the selection of some designated person

of high and recognized attainments in the required qualities, the Administrator may

suspend the requirements of competitive evaluation. 2. The Administrator may suspend the requirements of competitive evaluation for positions

requiring highly professional qualifications if past experience or current research

indicates a difficulty in recruitment or if the qualifications include a license or

certification. 3. Upon specific written justification by the appointing authority, the Administrator

may suspend the requirement of competitive evaluation for a position where extreme

difficulty in recruitment has been experienced and extensive efforts at recruitment

have failed to produce five persons in the state service who are qualified applicants

for promotion to the position. 4. Except in the circumstances described in subsection 2, no suspension may be general

in its application to any position.
