What is Delegated Examining Unit (DEU)? Is there a cost? When does a supervisor use DEU?
DEU is one recruitment source for hiring candidates. The Office of Personnel Management has granted this authority to Region 6, Fish and Wildlife Service. There is no cost to use this source. A DEU announcement is open to any U.S. citizen and canno limit the area of consideration (ie. local commuting area). DEU is extremely labor intensive to process. Selecting officials should discuss this option with a Human Resource Specialist to determine if it is an appropriate or effective hiring source. A good rule of thumb when considering DEU is; where would you find qualified candidates to perform the duties of the position being recruited. Your answer to this question will assist you and the Human Resource Specialist in finding the best recruitment source for your needs.
