If as part of your résumé review, you believe an Applicant is better suited for a different position, you may consider the Applicant for the position if you have another identified posted open position. If contact is made, you must notify the Applicant that she/he is being considered for a different opening and not the one they had originally applied to confirm interest from the Applicant. If interested, the Applicant must be notified to apply to the opening through PeopleAdmin. Notify your HR representative that the Applicant is also under consideration for another posted position.
