[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a job graded by a “ classification specialist”.   Completely useless.  When I came on board, jobs in my unit were handled by a “ management analyst”.  
Basically, an ex secretary who interfaces with HR for pay grades and negotiation of salary for new hires.  What a joke.   [/quote]

So who exactly do you think should be doing this, if not "ex secretaries"?[/quote]

Someone within the organization who is familiar with what each job function actually does, including the level of skill and effort required. That is not an ex-secretary.  [/quote]

So you propose someone like the hiring manager?  The person who is looking to fill a position gets to unilaterally decide the appropriate grade and pay?

How do you think that plays out over time?[/quote]

DP. I don’t think you understand the federal hiring process or the roles being discussed here. [/quote]

I absolutely understand the federal hiring process, and specifically the hiring process at the financial regulators.  And because of that, I understand the importance of HR professionals running a consistent process.[/quote]

So you understand PP wasn’t taking about HR, but rather people embedded within particular groups (management analysts) who are effectively admins that some retirement eligible senior manager likes because s/he types their letters for them 25 years ago. They interface with HR during hiring but often don’t understand the nuances to the hiring process, creating confusion.

Also hiring managers do decide grade. I’ve worked with classification specialists to draft positions. We draft the PDs and tell them the grades we aim to achieve. They sprinkle in some words that get us where we want to be and we are largely done. During hiring, it’s the SME under the hiring manger, not HR, that typically decides the grades (when there is a range) for higher level positions.

Also if you ARE taking about HR in the context of the primary financial regulator being discussed in this thread (FDIC) and are making that statement, I know you are either in HR, or not part of the hiring process, because it’s an absolute disaster over there. [/quote]
