§ 126-14.3A. Increasing efficiency of State job application process.
(a)The Office of State Human Resources
(OSHR)shall streamline the job application process for State positions by enabling applicants to upload resumes or website profiles. An electronic tool shall be utilized to import information from these documents into the State job application format, making the process more efficient while still collecting information necessary for merit-based hiring under G.S. 126-14.2 and G.S. 126-14.3. An applicant remains responsible for ensuring that all information required for initial screening appears correctly in the completed State job application after importing the applicant's resume or profile.
(b)For job applications requiring references, supplemental questions, or other information not typically found on resumes and not needed for initial screening, State agencies may collect this information later in the selection process, including during job interviews.
(c)Beginning in 2026 and then annually thereafter, the OSHR shall present the State application form and demonstrate the import process to the State Human Resources Commission to receive the Commission's informal feedback. (2025-34, s. 2(a).)
