Comments
A 60-day Notice requesting public
comment was published in the Federal
Register on 1/21/14. This comment
period ended 3/24/14. There were 2
comments submitted. Those comments
involved suggestions around the hiring
scenario set up; candidate experience
profiles; and the brand identity of
members. Clarifying information was
provided to the commenters to further
explain the use of a bachelor’s degree as
the common level of education across
candidates, and the use of a highly
generalized office position as the
hypothetical position of interest. A
technical question about the possible
incompatibility of certain combinations
of candidate experiences was answered
through an example. Finally, the
suggestion that we test AmeriCorps
brand salience vs. grantee brand
salience was addressed by explaining
the lack of sufficient space in the
experimental design, as well as
concerns of confusing and
overburdening respondents with too
much information.

Advantage study, which is used by staff
