  • NOTE: Department of Education employees will be placed on the salary range in accordance with Department regulations. All new external applicants will be placed on the initial step of the salary range. However, placement above the initial step of the salary range will be based on special characteristics and critical needs of the position, an applicant's exceptional qualifications, the availability of funds, and other relevant factors. Such appointments require prior approval.
  • Location:
    Downtown, Oahu
  • The immediate vacancy is in the Office of Talent Management, Personnel Management Branch, Recruitment and Employment Section, Classified/Support Services Personnel Recruitment Unit.
  • Summary:
    Within a framework of established division policy, is responsible for planning, directing, controlling and coordinating a major subsegment of a personnel management program where the work is so complex and voluminous as to require subordinate levels of supervision; assists in developing program activities and evaluating the results of such activities, preparing justification of projects, and briefing management on the purpose and progress of developmental projects; and performs other related duties as assigned.
  • Applicants must meet all the requirements for the position they are seeking as of the date of the application, unless otherwise specified. Unless specifically indicated, the required education and experience may not be gained concurrently. Note: Calculation of experience is based on full-time, 40-hour workweeks. Part-time experience is pro-rated. Example: Twelve months of experience at 20 hours/week is equivalent to six months of experience, not one year. Also, hours worked in excess of 40 hours/week will not be credited. Example: Twelve months of experience at 60 hours/week is equivalent to one year of experience, not one and a half years.

    To qualify, you must meet all of the following requirements:
  • Education Requirement:
    Graduation from an accredited four (4) year college or university with a Bachelor's degree. Excess work experience as described under the Specialized Experience below or any other progressively responsible administrative, professional or other analytical work experience which provided knowledge, skills and abilities comparable to those acquired in four (4) years of successful study while completing a college or university curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree may be substituted on a year-for-year basis. To be acceptable, the experience must have been of such scope, level and quality as to assure the possession of comparable knowledge, skills and abilities.

    The education or experience background must also demonstrate the ability to write clear and comprehensive reports and other documents; read and interpret complex written material; and solve complex problems logically and systematically.

    Specialized Experience Requirement:
    Three and one half (3�) years of professional work experience in one or any combination of personnel management functions; i.e. recruitment, placement, examination, position classification, pay or wage administration, employee management relations and services, employee development, personnel program development and services, labor relations and personnel research.

    Such experience must show ability to deal satisfactorily with fellow workers and/or operating personnel to recognize problems in the operation of a personnel program and to suggest practical solutions, and otherwise to accept responsibility in the field of personnel administration.

    For levels V and VI, at least one (1) year of the experience must have been comparable to the fully independent worker or journeyman level in the State service.

    Non-Qualifying Experience:
    Experience not primarily concerned with personnel work is not qualifying. For example, most work experience in a supervisory or managerial position requires responsibility for some personnel functions. However, if the dominant responsibility of the position is not concerned with a fundamental component of a structured personnel system (i.e., classification, recruitment, labor relations, etc.), such experience is not considered qualifying.

    Clerical or technical experience in a personnel program involving work which is limited to the application of personnel rules, regulations and procedures in support of the personnel functions described above is not qualifying.

    Staff Specialist or Supervisory Experience Requirement:
    In addition to the Specialized Experience Requirement, applicants must have at least one (1) year of either staff specialist or supervisory experience of the type and quality described below:

    A. Staff Specialist Experience:
    Personnel management specialist experience performing work regularly encompassing difficult and complex situations and problems in a given personnel specialty with responsibility for furnishing advisory services to management in the overall aspects of program development and evaluation; or personnel management specialist experience performing extensive and intensive work in a given area of specialization, working on the most complex and difficult assignments in the areas of program development and evaluation, development of new and revised procedures, review of working situations to be sure that departments are following guidelines for sound personnel practices, recommending legislation or studying impact of proposed legislation and engaging in personnel research aimed towards improving the personnel system.

    B. Supervisory Experience:
    Experience in the field of personnel management which included (1) planning and directing the work of others; (2) assigning and reviewing their work; (3) advising them on difficult problem areas; (4) timing and scheduling their work; (5) training and developing of new employees; and disciplining them when necessary.

    2. Possession of a Master's degree from an accredited college or university in personnel administration, personnel and industrial relations or human resources management may be substituted for one (1) year of the specialized experience.

    3. Possession of a Ph.D. degree from an accredited college or university in one of the fields described above may be substituted for two (2) years of the specialized experience.
