MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
VIA Executive Director
FROM
Acting Inspector General
SUBJECT Forthcoming Inspection of Entry-on-Duty
Processing
1. A three-man team of inspec
soon begin an inspection of Entry-on-Duty (EOD) processing, as
requested by the former DDCI earlier this year. He believed that
problems in EOD processing were disaffecting highly qualified
applicants and causing them to seek employment elsewhere. I
recall that the Executive Director, in his former Inspector
General capacity, cleared this survey with you and that you had
no problems with our undertaking it. The Director of Personnel
was also advised of our plans.
2. The Office of the Inspector General has looked into this
issue before as an aspect of our controversial 1980 survey of the
recruitment process. That survey identified two main areas of
concern in EOD processing; first and foremost, the length of time
involved; second, inadequate communications between the Agency
and prospective employees. We intend to focus primarily on these
two areas in the.current inspection but will be alert to any
possible changes in the system which could encourage applicants
to remain corrmitted to CIA during the processing period. We will
not attempt to re-visit the entire range of issues covered by the
recruitment survey.
3. The Office of Personnel is aware of the findings of the
recruitment survey and, we understand, has taken a number of
steps to make EOD processing more efficient, but problems
apparently remain. In the current inspection we inten
d to
consult the Office of Personnel and other components,
such as the
Office of Security and the Office of Medical Services,
involved
in EOD processing in
order to understand how well the s
ystem is
working at this time.
We will also confer with compone
nts in the
various directorates
which have significant requirement
s for new
employees, in order to identify their problems with the system.
Lastly, we will debrief a representative sample of recently hired
employees so as to benefit from their perceptions.
