Title: Schedule A and Veterans Recruitment Initiative.
OMB number: 3095-0075.
Agency form number: NA Form 3102, NARA Employment Interest
Questionnaire.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals or households.
Estimated number of respondents: 300.
Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 25 hours.
Abstract: This recruitment initiative connects 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 Resume Repository (retained in a spreadsheet)
to store resumes 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, NA Form 3102, NARA Employment Interest Questionnaire, which
includes the following information for each individual: Applicant name,
email address, phone number, U.S. citizenship status, past federal
employment, referral source, desired work location, types of positions
applicant is interested in (may be multiple areas of interest), and
minimum starting grade level.
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
resumes 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 resumes 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="https://www.archives.gov/">https://www.archives.gov/</a>.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens, eligible veterans, or be eligible
under the Schedule A hiring authority.
Gulam Shakir,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
