Disability Determination Services
Pilot Project

DHHS has concluded a pilot project that was used to:

  • Develop and validate competencies that are important for successful DDS Specialists.
    • Each employee completed a survey to verify the most critical competencies for the Specialist positions.
  • Create applicant interview guides that use questions directly related to these validated competencies.

As part of the pilot, Human Resource staff also worked with management and employees to pilot the process of defining and validating competencies at three levels:

  • Contributing (entry level)
  • Journey (experienced)
  • Advanced (expert)

The results of the pilot are summarized in a report linked in the project documents section below. This report provides a summary of the pilot project involving many dedicated people and many hours of work. The DHHS HR team thanks the DDS Senior Management Team for providing the opportunity to use their organization as a learning environment. The report provides a summary of the process and results as well as recommendations for next steps.
