Hiring Timeline

When can I submit for clearance checks? ​

Jobs with a close date

• Clearance checks may begin after the job posting has closed.

Jobs with an extended close date

• Clearance checks may begin after the new close date.

Jobs opened as or changed to “open to filled”

• Clearance checks may begin after the minimum number of posting days requirement has passed.

Exception: ½ time jobs that are hiring multiple employees (usually seasonal or temporary) can hire as soon as possible.

Please Note:

• Interviews can begin while the job is open.
• Submitting for clearance checks can be done after a posting has 1) closed or has 2) met the minimum open days requirement​
• The clearance process is more than the background check and ecclesiastical clearance. Up to 27 items are checked before an applicant is moved to "submit for clearance checks."​
