Comments: Enter a specific job related reason/ska for a disqualification status in the PeopleAdmin system based upon the required experience, skills, knowledge, or abilities lacking. These SKA's must be based on the selection criteria developed from the position description and job posting requirements for minimum and preferred qualifications. Contact your Employment Consultant/Recruiter prior to completing the form if you have questions.
