FROM Management Advisory Group
SUBJECT Career Services: Need for Change
1. The Agency's eCareer Services require an overhauling,
both in concept and in number. The following paragraphs lay out a
number of changes in the present Agency Career Services. At a time
when the Agency is in a state of reassessing and perfecting its policies
and procedures,, it would seem particularly advantageous for top
level management to consider major alterations in the Career Services.
NUMBER
2. The first consideration is the number of Career Services.
Currently, there are
I11The number of areer t5ervices be re uce one
for each Directorate, and one in the Office of the DCI to administer all
Supergrade positions as well as the Director's Staffs. This would make
the DD's directly responsible.for Career Services and facilitate the
administration of the Personnel Development Program. The two must
-work hand in hand if either is to be effective.
STAT
3. Thus far, Career Services have existed largely to serve their
own needs; they have done poorly in identifying talent which could be
better utilized by the Agency in higher management jobs. Fewer
Career Services would offer a broader base from which to make personnel
selections, minimizing the hoarding of good employees by small com-
ponents to the detriment of the total organization. As a result, the Agency
would be in a better position to get the right man in the right job at the
right time. (
