suBJECT: AES Participation in a Review of Agency Clerical Usage
1. One recommendation made by the Inspector General, as a result
of his survey of Agency training, is a review of "clerical usage," with
a view to developing a "more effective system." This review is to be
made by "the Directors of Personnel and Training together with represent-
atives from operating components."
2. As you know, AES provides extensive services to the Office of
Personnel in the testing of clerical applicants and new clerical employees.
The testing of applicants is quite short and intended solely for rather
coarse screening. The testing of clerical employees at the time of EOD
is more extensive, requiring about two hours, covers a greater variety
of skills than the applicant testing, and is presumably a useful tool
in effecting optimum placement of clerical employees.
3. It is our understanding from the persons responsible for clerical
recruitment, selection, and placement that our testing is serving its
purposes well. Nevertheless, as part of the review recommended by the
Inspector General it would seem very pertinent to make a more rigorous
examination of how well the testing is serving its purposes and whether
it could serve the purposes better. We would welcome the opportunity
for such an examination and would be most interested in contributing
