Employee Recruitment and Selection Plan
Southern Kennebec Child Development Corporation (SKCDC) Policy:
1. SKCDC is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Americans with Disabilities Act employer. SKCDC will not
refuse to hire, train, promote, or otherwise discriminate against any applicant or employee based on race,
color, religion, sex, age, national origin, handicap, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information as defined
in the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination act of 2008 (GINA), marital or veteran status, or political
affiliation. SKCDC complies fully with the American with Disabilities Act, as well as state laws, which require
that employers make reasonable accommodations in the workplace for employees who are disabled.
2. SKCDC strives to attract and employ a highly qualified and dedicated workforce that supports and promotes its
early care and education programs to ensure the administration, management, supervision, and
implementation of quality services to children and families within our communities and service areas.
3. SKCDC is committed to giving all employees equal opportunity to advance to higher-level positions and to
encourage career development within the organization, whenever possible.
4. SKCDC recruits from internal and/or external sources to develop an adequate pool of qualified applicants for
interviewing purposes in filling vacant positions. Every effort is made to identify and select highly qualified and
“best fit” applicants for positions. The agency employs standard and/or competency-based interviewing
techniques to compile information related to each applicant’s knowledge, skills, abilities, characteristics, and
behaviors in evaluating their “fit” within the agency and to the position.
5. SKCDC utilizes its Policy Council and/or Board of Directors, or Sub-Committees in the recruitment, screening,
interviewing, and selection of all employees.
6. SKCDC delegates responsibility for planning, developing, implementing, directing, and evaluating its human

Opportunity/Affirmative Action/American with Disabilities Act guidelines, and agency policies and procedures.
