VACANCY ANN#: STOI-22-068
TITLE: EMERGENCY HIRE APPLICANT POOL
STATUS: TEMPORARY
RATE OF PAY: DOE/DOQ
OPENING DATE: FEBRUARY 1, 2026
CLOSIG DATE: OPEN CONTINUOUS

SUMMARY: The purpose of the Emergency Hire Applicant Pool is to give job seekers the opportunity for immediate hire in an available job within the Spokane Tribe’s various departments.

DEFINITION:  An Emergency Hire (E-hire) is a temporary STOI employee who will fill a vacant position within a tribal department for up to 60 days. The positions, locations, hours, and rate of pay will vary, depending on the department and its operations.

REASON:  There are instances when a job vacancy needs to be filled as quickly as possible, so the department in need will request an “Emergency Hire”. By applying here, all applicants’ submissions will be available to the Hiring Managers to review when an Emergency Hire position becomes available.

PROCESS:  If you are selected as an Emergency Hire, and you agree to the position duties, hours, and rate of pay, you will be subject to a required pre-employment screening that includes drug-test and criminal background screening. Upon successful clearance, you will be able to work in the position as a temporary Emergency Hire for up to 60 days.

In most instances, the job will need to be filled permanently. In this case the Hiring Manager will have 60 days to submit a complete job posting request to STOI HR for the purpose of opening and announcing the position to the public, as per STOI policy. The Emergency Hire employee will have the same opportunity to apply for the posted position and interview, along with any other qualified applicants that are screened in after the posting closes.

The benefit of being selected as an Emergency Hire is the opportunity to meet the department team, learn the position duties, become familiar with the department culture, and gain valuable on the job experience, before the position is even posted and advertised to the public. 

To be considered for Emergency Hire positions please submit a detailed resume outlining your skills, abilities, education, work experience, professional achievements, and any information you would like to have considered.
