Background Information:
The Department of Social Services requests placement at Other Than A Step, Range 19, Step E for an Account Clerk III.

The candidate has many applicable skills including but not limited to: accounts payable, accounts receivable, invoicing, reconciling accounts, etc. She has over 11 years of comprehensive professional experience performing duties that are relevant to the position.
The Department has struggled to recruit and retain qualified candidates in the Account Clerk series for a number of years. If this action is not approved, the Department will lose an opportunity to hire a highly qualified applicant.
