Public sector personnelists are often asked to select or recommend a job analysis system. Selecting the approach which is most likely to meet their agency's needs is a complex task, demanding attention to factors such as staff requirements, type of information obtained, and legal ramifications. The Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures, and judicial interpretation of legal requirements are of paramount importance in choosing a particular system. This paper examines three significant issues related to selecting a job analysis system, and recommends a multi-method approach as the best way to obtain useful information while complying with regulatory guidance and case law.
