In 1978, the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP) were issued. The guidelines are intended to establish a uniform basis of selection procedure criteria in the Federal sector. This guide imposes employers with the criteria by which the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would evaluate hiring practices to ensure adherence to merit principles. The UGESP applies to both inservice placement actions and external hiring practices.
A selection procedure is any measure, combination of measures, or procedures used as a basis for an employment decision. In DOI Bureaus, this would apply, but not be limited to, job analysis, Crediting Plan, interviews, and the selection process itself.
All these documents and the processes which develop these documents, which support the referral and selection of candidates, must clearly contain only job-related criteria. The documents become part of the overall documentation supporting selection procedures used.
