[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for the government and see this daily.  [b]Our agency recently put out an announcement for a budget analyst position.

Who do we hire?  Minority vet with a degree in HR from University of Phoenix.  The individual can't even run a basic function in excel[/b].  The whole department consists of a few competent analysts and a whole bunch of other people who are terrible at their job but were hired by the gov't for one reason or another.

Shame on your hiring panel, HR and manager (signed, a 26 yr. Fed manager).[/quote]

The individual had the triple crown.  Minority, Vet with disability rating, and female.  I cringe everytime she tells me she went to school for a year at night to "graduate" with a "bachelors" from Phoenix.

That's nice.  But if she didn't have the skills, then you either can nonselect and readvertise, or justify not selecting her.  You (your managers & HR) just have to strap their balls on and do the job.

There is no requirement that diversity, etc., requires you to hire unqualified employees.  [b]That's a failure of management in implementation[/b].[/quote]

+1.  It puzzles me that folks do not understand this! [/quote]

it is very hard to find qualified AA employees in many fields.  many hired are unqualified.[/quote]

STEM fields aside, it is hard only for those who do want to look hard enough! [/quote]
