  5. CONFIDENTIALMar. 1,2018 Proposed Change in EOD’s Monitoring and Review ofP&S Search and Selection Summary Forms (Prior to Implementation of the TaleoSystem) Proposal: Prior to implementation of the Taleo system, EOD proposes to cease conducting the post-org review of Search & Selection Summary (S&SS) forms for P&S searches. This change would likely occur in early to mid-April2018. REQ: No change proposed for review ofRequisitions Responsibility for the review and approval of P&S Reqs transferred to HR- Comp & Class in January 2016 and to HR-Employment Services in October2017. EOD provided training to HR staff prior to these changes, continues to have review access to Reqs in Workflow, and provides feedback as needed to HR staff if concerns arenoted. PIR: No change proposed for review of Pre-Interview Reports(PIR) EOD reviews and approves PIRs, provides feedback to search chair/admin, HR Unit Rep, and/or Sr. HR leader as needed. PIR step enables EOD to provide timely feedback, before a hiring manager/search chair becomes fully committed to selecting a particular candidate. The majority of EOD staff time is spent on resolving issues at the PIR stage, not the S&SS stage. S&SS: Proposed change for review of Search & Selection Summary (S&SS)forms Within the next 4-6 weeks, and prior to implementation of the Taleo system, EOD proposes to cease conducting the post-org review of S&SS forms for P&S searches. The review of Faculty S&SS forms by EOD will continueunchanged. In addition to its online P&S/Faculty Recruitment Manual,EOD will provide a one-page reference guide to explain EOD’s review criteria for S&SS forms for search chairs/admins, HR Unit reps, and Sr. HR leaders prior to making changes to the post-org review process. EOD will also offer training on EOD’s review function as a refresher for HR representatives & Sr. HR leaders. EOD will continue to have view access to P&S S&SS forms in Workflow in order to perform an audit of these forms. EOD will provide feedback to search chairs/admins, HR Unit Reps, and/or Sr. HR leaders on particular forms as needed but will not be required to review and approve every P&S S&SSform. APPT: No change proposed for review of appointment forms (APPT)

  6. Rationale for InterimChange: • EOD to begin transitioning from a reviewer function to an auditorfunction. This change will function as a preliminary step to help hiring managers and HR reps/Sr. HR leaders transition to the new talent acquisition model, for which EOD will not have a post-org reviewer role for transactions in the workflowpath. • Greater value added for EOD staff review at the PIR stage rather than the S&SS stage • EOD staff time spend the majority of their time on the PIR review, not on the S&SS form review. Gradually shifting more of the responsibility for careful review of search documents tothe • departments/orgs is consistent with the new talent acquisition model that is proposed by Baker Tilley and the UI Taleo designteam. • Upcoming staffing change inEOD • Due to upcoming changes in the staffing level in the EEO compliance functional area of EOD, we believes there’s a need to reduce the volume of search forms that receive a high level of scrutiny byEOD. • Reducing the volume of search forms that EOD must review and approve will make our temporary plan more feasible to have a staff member from HR- Employment Services assist EOD on a part-time basis with the review of searchforms. • Possible Advantages/Reasons to Proceed with ProposedChange: • Reduced time to fill P&S vacancies by eliminating a step in the reviewprocess • Colleges and organizational units take on greater responsibility/ownership for their hiring decisions and the associateddocumentation • Planning for new Taleo system is well underway with a high degree of confidence in theprocess • to ensure timely review by the compliance team for design decisions • No OFCCP audits underway at UI at thistime • PossibleConcerns: • Reduced ability to correct errors before S&SS forms areapproved • Lesser qualified candidates are selected and offered a position without sufficient justification by the hiring manager/searchchair • Biased or other problematic language included in the officialjustification • Documentation of reasons for non-selection of interviewed and/or veterans’ preference candidates not sufficientlydocumented • Salaries are offered that exceed the salary range as advertised in the REQ or the pay levelmaximum • Offers extended without obtaining two different people (one each at the departmental and org level) authorizing theoffer • Increased legal risk in the event of a complaint (internal and external), lawsuit, and/or OFCCP audit
