55 of 65 Boards Open
For InjUned Staffing
Fifty-five of 65 Interagency
Boards of Civil Service Examiners
were operational at the end of
October, and the remainder will
become operational by the end of
the year.
During the coming year, the 65
Interagency Boards will gradually
absorb the examining workload of
the remaining agency boards of
examiners so that by the end of
1967, the IAB network will be
fully operational.
The immensity of the Federal
examining operation was described
recently by Donald R. Harvey,
director of the Bureau of Recruit-
ing and Examining in the Civil
Service Commission.
Last year, he reported, the sys-
tem evaluated more than 2 million
applications, answered more than
5 million employment inquiries,
and provided candidates for more
than 400,000 appointments in every
conceivable occupational field.
The changeover to a network of
65 Interagency boards from more
than 700 single agency boards will
be the outcome of four years of
planning.
Each Interagency Board will pro-
vide a comprehensive program of
Federal job information; in other
words, a one-stop job information
center.
Board membership will consist of
representatives of all Federal
agencies employing personnel in
the area served by the board.
Executive secretaries and Board
staff members will be employees
of the Civil Service Commission.
