Excerpt:
“As part of the Merit Hiring Plan, agency leadership, or their designees, will be involved throughout the full hiring process. In particular:
• Agency leadership will develop a data-driven plan at the start of the Fiscal Year, and each quarter, to ensure that new career appointment hires are in the highest-need areas.
• Agency leadership must approve the opening of new role.
• Agency leadership, or designee(s), may be involved in the candidate selection and ranking process, including by determining which assessments to use in connection with a particular role and participating in interviews, resume reviews, accomplishment record reviews, and writing sample reviews.
• Agency leadership, or designee(s), should function as a hiring committee in the candidate selection process:
o Agency leadership, or designee(s), must approve the selectee’s candidate packets (resume, answers to application questions, interview feedback, job description for role) prior to offers being extended,
o Agency leadership, or designee(s), should conduct a final ‘executive interview’ to confirm organizational fit and commitment to American ideals. The level of agency leader that conducts this interview depends on the level of the position being filled.”
