Application/Selection Process
Merit will be the driving principle in the selection process. OPM is aggressively recruiting candidates from both inside and outside Government and working closely with agencies to identify and meet their specific needs with regard to succession planning and hard-to-fill positions. Nationwide recruitment will include efforts focused on groups traditionally underrepresented in the SES.
Application/Selection Process
-
OPM will announce the Fed CDP on www.usajobs.opm.gov.
-
Eligible candidates - individuals must be able to show one year or
more of leadership experience at the GS-14 level or above in the Federal
service, or comparable experience, to be considered.
-
Participating agencies will review, interview, and select candidates
using OPM-approved guidelines.
-
Candidates selected from within the Government who meet the applicable
qualifications requirements will serve in General Schedule grade GS-15
positions (temporary or permanent depending on their existing positions),
for the duration of their participation in the program. Candidates
from within the Government who do not meet the applicable qualifications
for GS-15 will serve in GS-14 positions (temporary or permanent depending
on their existing positions), for the duration of their participation
in the program.
-
Candidates from within the Government who are not serving under career
appointments or under career-type appointments will be given a temporary
Schedule B appointment.
-
Candidates selected from outside the Government will be appointed
to temporary GS-15 positions (or temporary GS-14 where the applicable
qualifications are not met), through Schedule B appointments, for
the duration of their participation in the program.
-
Successful completion of this program, provides eligibility for appointment
to the Senior Executive Service (SES) without further competition.
However, participation in the program does not guarantee placement
in the SES. A Schedule B appointee who is not converted to an appointment
in the SES or General Schedule at the end of the program has no fallback
rights to another Federal position. You must compete for Federal positions
other than those in the SES.
