Attracting and Selecting Quality Applicants for Federal Employment. A report Concerning Significant Actions of the Office of Personnel Management

Abstract

This report reviews the initiatives begun by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during fiscal year 1988 to improve the Government's ability to attract high-quality applicants for Federal employment. It also provides the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board's (MSPB's) assessment of recent proposals to modify the selection process for entry-level jobs in Professional and Administrative Career (PAC) positions. The Board also finds, among OPM's proposals to streamline and improve the selection process, one proposal that does not provide reasonable assurance of a merit-based system.
