SELECTION PROCEDURE/EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS
After application submission, candidates deemed qualified must complete all subsequent steps to advance in this selection process, which includes the following:

1. Minimum Qualification Supplemental Questionnaire - Weight: Qualifying
Candidates who meet minimum qualifications may be required to complete a Minimum Qualification Supplemental Questionnaire that will be sent as a link via email. This Minimum Qualification Supplemental Questionnaire is designed to obtain specific information regarding an applicant's experience in relation to the Minimum Qualifications for this position. Candidates must complete this questionnaire to move forward in the selection process.

2. Supervisory Test Battery (STB) - Weight: 50%
Candidates will be invited to participate in a computer-based examination designed to measure competencies in job-related areas which may include but not be limited to: Problem Solving; Leadership; Decision Making; Interpersonal skill; Human Resources Management; Team Building; Communication & Conflict Management. For more information about this Supervisory Test (and a suggested reading list) please visit: https://www.sf.gov/supervisory-test-battery

This is a standardized examination, and, therefore, test questions and answers are not available for public inspection or review.

3. Training, Education and Experience Assessment (TEE) - Weight: 50%
Candidates who pass the Supervisory Test Battery (STB) will be sent a Supplemental Questionnaire that must be completed by the set date. Candidates will be evaluated on their verifiable Training, education and experience possessed to acquire the essential and relevant knowledge, skills, and ability levels in job-related areas. Candidates must attain a minimum passing score on all test components in order to move forward in the selection process.

The above multiple-choice test component is a standardized exam and, therefore, test questions and test answers are not available for public inspection or review.

Score Banking: Scores attained on the supervisory test battery (STB) and the multiple-choice technical knowledge exam components are "banked" for three years, starting from the date of the examination, and are applicable to the STB and both the 1246 and 0931 Human Resources’ positions where “recruitment and examinations” is the job’s emphasis. This means that, should you apply during this three-year time period for other classes requiring the STB or a 1246 and/or 0931 HR job opportunity for which “recruitment and examinations” is the position’s primary focus, you will not be required to re-take the test components. If the selection process for other classes requiring the STB or a future 1246 or 0931 HR job announcement is held within one year of the date of this examination and it includes these test components, your score on the test components automatically will be applied to that announcement. [Please note that separate passing points for this test component will be applied with respect to the 1246 and 0931 selection processes (i.e., a higher passing point is applied with respect to 0931 HR recruitments). However, after one year, you have the option to either (a) apply your test scores to the other announcement or (b) re-take the test components. Re-testing is permitted no sooner than one year from the date of the examination and only in association with your eligibility for another 1246 or 0931 or other class using the STB job announcement for which this test component is used. Please note that, should you re-test, your re-test score would become your official score since it is the most recent.]

*A passing score on the Supervisory Test Battery and the Training, Education and Experience Assessment (TEE) must be achieved in order to be placed/ranked on the Eligible List. Candidates will be placed on the eligible list in rank order according to their final score.

Eligible List/Score Report: A confidential eligible list of applicant names that have passed the civil service examination process will be created and used for certification purposes only. An examination score report will be established, so applicants can view the ranks, final scores and number of eligible candidates.
