An eligible list is a list of candidates who have passed all parts of the examination and can be considered for employment based on their scores.

Generally the top three ranks (highest scores) of an eligible list are considered reachable and will be contacted first. You can determine your rank by going to the California Department of Human Resource's Eligible List Disclosure page. If you are in Rank 1, 2, or 3, you may immediately begin applying for job openings/vacancies in which you are interested. Please do not call CalHR to obtain information on your ranking. The CalHR is unable to tell candidates their exact rank on the eligible list. It is important to note that your ranking may change daily. This is due in large part to exams being administered on a continuous basis with candidates merging on and off the lists on a regular basis. Ranking also changes as a result of individuals being hired from the list, being placed inactive on the list, transferring on or off the list, and tenure/timebase and location preferences.

LEAP Readiness Evaluation (examination): Individuals who have taken and passed a LEAP Readiness Evaluation (examination) are all reachable, regardless of score.

If you have questions regarding lists on which you are eligible, you can request a printout by writing to CalHR, Attn: List Eligibility, 1515 S. Street, North Bldg., Suite 400 Sacramento, CA 95811.
