[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've worked on hiring technical people. HR has zero ability to evaluate skills and experience. They're the worst. They fought with me once because they didn't understand a clearly-written OPM requirement for an occupation that was in an announcement. One of the only tools we had in trying to get good hires was being able to salary match to some degree. [/quote] I agree with this. I like this change in theory, but I worry that in practice it will just mean less flexibility to offer competitive salaries because HR does not understand what — other than salary matching — merits higher pay. In my old fed office, HR deemed a candidate unqualified for a position where she was the acting incumbent and the job qualifications were written to reflect her actual duties. Unqualified so didn’t make the cert at all. We ended up having to do the whole thing again, so ultimately hiring was just delayed 6 months.[/quote]
