handle is hein.gao/gaobabetd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THE U, S. General Accounting Office ACTION's Hiring And Use Of Certain Noncareer Employees And Other Personnel Matters GAO reviewed several personnel matters at ACTION involving the hiring and use of Schedule B and C employees and the reassignment of career civil ser- vice employees ACTION complied with regulations pertaining to the hiring of Schedule C employees and the reassignment of the career civil service em- ployees. ACTION uses its Schedule B authority primarily to directly hire persons who possess empathy with cer- tain client groups. Empathy is a trait which ACTION believes cannot be identified through the competitive process and the OPM Director appears to agree with ACTION However, OPM's competitive bilingual and cultural certification process was designed to identify such individuals ACTION is not required to consult wi h OPM or use OPM to determine the practicability of filling Schedule B positions through competition However, GAO believes the positions filled under the Schedule B authority were appropriate for consid- eration under the bilingual and cultural certification process 125104 GAO/HRD-84-57 SEPTEMBER 7, 1984 O19cIL3
