SUBJECT Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection
Procedures
REFERENCE DDCI Memorandum dated 9 January 1980
1. The Operations Directorate concurs in the Phase I
recommendations. Recommendation 6, of course, will require
that information now dispersed in the hiring components be
collected centrally by the Career Management Staff. This
probably can be accomplished without an increase in manpower.
2. We also concur in principle in the Phase II recom-
mendations--with one exception. In view of our special
behavorial requirements, policy formulation on validation,
testing and job analysis procedures must involve DO input
prior to implementation. There appears to be no provision
for this in the Phase II recommendations.
3. As we move towards Phase II, we see a potential
problem in application of the "four fifths" role. Overly
literal application actually could have an adverse impact on
minority employment. In an effort to bring more minorities
into the DO, we have dramatically expanded our minority con-
tacts and are considering many more minority candidates.
Although we hope these efforts will result in a higher
on-board ratio, we are lowering the selection ratio. In
other words, in four fifths terms, we would look better if
we considered fewer minority applicants. We hope that pro-
vision will be made for following the spirit of the guidelines
against the ultimate objective of improving the minority ratio
on board--even if this means a shortfall at intermediate steps.

4. A final comment: Implementation of the Uniform
Guidelines will impact significantly on Agency personnel
management policies and procedures. In this light, the
new Personnel Management Advisory Board is the logical
vehicle for dissemination, review and consolidation of
comment on further task force recommendations.
