Title: Schedule A and Veterans Recruitment Initiative Information.
OMB number: 3095-NEW.
Agency form number: NA Form 3102, NARA Employment Interest
Questionnaire.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals or households.
Estimated number of respondents: 600.
Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 50.
Abstract: We are implementing a new recruitment initiative by which
we work to connect people who are veterans or are Schedule A-eligible
with non-competitive employment opportunities within our agency. The
Special Program Placement Coordinator (SPPC) serves as a liaison
between the applicant and NARA managers and supervisors to find viable
employment opportunities for applicants.
SPPC has developed a Resum[eacute] Repository (retained in a
spreadsheet) to store resum[eacute]s of qualified individuals who may
meet our hiring needs. The Repository helps our agency find highly
motivated veterans and Schedule A candidates who are eager to
demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through excepted service
positions, which could become permanent positions after trial period
requirements have been met.
We collect the information for the Repository through an online
form, NARA Employment Interest Questionnaire, NA Form 3102, which
includes the following information for each individual: Applicant name,
email address, phone number, types of positions applicant is interested
in (may be multiple areas of interest), applicant's desired
location(s), and minimum starting grade level applicant is willing to
accept.
We enter the collected information from the questionnaire into the
Repository spreadsheet, which managers and supervisors can use to sort
and filter by position(s) of interest and/or duty location. We include
resum[eacute]s and cover letters as a link beside each candidate's
entry so managers can view them and consider the candidate when looking
for an employee. Managers have unlimited access to the Repository
information and resum[eacute]s to select qualified applicants to fill
vacancies through a direct, non-competitive hire.
The Schedule A and veterans recruitment questionnaire link will be
listed in our agency's information on the OPM website, in information
provided by other agencies and organizations with similar programs, and
on various pages of our agency's website at <a href="http://www.archives.gov">www.archives.gov</a>.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens, eligible veterans, or be eligible
under the Schedule A hiring authority.
Swarnali Haldar,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
