Statutes for Statewide Recruitment
Eligible lists are created on the basis of merit and fitness, and, as such, shall result from recruitment strategies designed to be as broad and inclusive as necessary to best meet the selection need (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 2, § 250).
All agencies shall engage in general recruitment and outreach programs to all individuals, including persons who are economically disadvantaged. California Government Code allows public sector employers to conduct outreach efforts with a recruitment goal to supplement word-of-mouth recruitment that should result in increasing diversity of the workforce (Gov. Code, §7400, subds. (3), (d), added by Stats. 2016).
