Good Morning!

I am writing to you on behalf of the Jefferson County Commission Human
Resources Department in Birmingham, Alabama regarding our selection
procedures for multiple positions.  Approximately 400 individuals will go
through the Assessment Centers; which will serve as the secondary selection
procedure for Jefferson County.  The assessment centers permit individuals
to demonstrate their knowledge and competence related to these jobs through
structured interviews.

 In order to accurately and effectively assess the candidates’ performance
in these selection processes, we are recruiting graduate students who are
enrolled in *Industrial/Organizational, Human Resource*, or *Organizational
Behavior* Master and/or PhD programs or any individual that has employee
selection assessment experience to assist in the final assessment of these
candidates.  Assessors will receive training regarding the assessment
process which includes how to complete scoring of the candidates.

The success of our process hinges on our ability to recruit highly
competent individuals to assist in this assessment.  Although we are unable
to provide a stipend to the assessors that we recruit to assist in this
process, the assessment does provide a number of other benefits to
individuals who graciously agree to volunteer.  Such benefits include:

§  the opportunity to assist a governmental agency and to closely observe
and learn about various selection processes and assessment centers;

§  training on employee selection assessment;

§  valuable applied experience serving as an assessor for a variety of
jobs;

§  the opportunity to meet, work, and interact with a variety of
individuals in similar areas of study from around the country, while at the
same time enjoying the sights and culture of Birmingham; and

§  *all* expenses paid by the Jefferson County Commission Human Resources
Department for travel related to the assessment, including transportation
(airline and/or mileage to and from Birmingham), lodging, and meals.

 If you or your students are interested in gaining valuable applied
experience in the field of employee selection by assisting, please feel
free to contact me at Danielch at jccal.org.  Thank you in advance for your
assistance with this process.
