NSF Talent Inventory for Federal Temporary and Rotational Program Director Positions
What is this? |
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has initiated a talent inventory for Federal Temporary and Rotational Program Director, AD-4 positions. The talent inventory will allow us to streamline the review of applications for these positions which are so critical to our mission. See the full announcement at http://jobsearch.usajobs.opm.gov/ftva.asp?opmcontrol=1235823 |

What does this mean for applicants? |
It's no longer necessary to wait for a specific announced opportunity or to submit more than a CV (or resume) to be considered; simply send a CV to rotatorinventory@nsf.gov. At the discretion of the hiring office, your application may be reviewed and considered for specific positions as they become available, since it will already be on file in our inventory. Your application will remain available for consideration throughout the six-month vacancy open period. You are also encouraged to apply for specific vacancies, as participation in this talent inventory is optional. |

|
What does this mean for selecting offices? |
Rather than advertise each Federal Temporary and Rotational Program Director position individually, selecting offices will have the option to evaluate applications already on file in the Human Resources Management Division (HRM). Applicants will be assessed to determine those whose background and skills most closely parallel the needs of the hiring organization; those names and CVs will be forwarded to the selecting official for formal consideration. Candidates not selected will remain in the talent inventory for continued consideration during the six-month vacancy open period. |

What can I expect (as an applicant)? |
After we receive your CV, we will send you an acknowledgment email within five business days asking for information regarding the Directorates for which you wish consideration. A determination of your basic qualifications and eligibility for Program Director will be made. If you are found not qualified or ineligible for consideration, you will be notified via email. If you are found qualified and eligible, we will update your record so that you'll be considered for specific jobs, as vacancies occur. If any additional information is required for specific positions, we'll request it via email.
At any time during the six-month vacancy open period, you may update your CV, and the most current one will be used in the evaluation process.
Should you have additional questions, you may contact us directly at rotatorinventory@nsf.gov.
