Description

It is imperative that candidates for Federal appointments are thoroughly assessed. This report explores how agencies are using -- or failing to use -- the probationary period to ensure that only the best candidates receive finalized appointments as Federal employees. The study found that one obstacle is in the phrasing of the law regarding probationers & the limitations it effectively imposes on establishing probationary periods of more than one year. Also reveals that many roadblocks to successfully using the probationary period come from within the agencies themselves. An unwillingness to assess candidates, or to act upon an assessment, prevents the probationary period from being as effective as it can & should be. Charts & tables.
