FORT KNOX, Ky. – The Reserve Personnel Management Directorate, or RPMD, here at the U.S. Army Human Resources Command recently completed its first successful IPPS-A Marketplace that brought Reserve Soldiers and units together in a collaborative effort to increase transparency and efficiency when it comes to future assignments.
The two-way Marketplace allows Soldiers to view all available positions while units can see eligible applicants and their knowledge, skills and abilities, which enables both to make informed decisions.
The Marketplace is a significant improvement over the traditional assignment process that relied heavily on manual spreadsheets and limited communication between Soldiers and units, said Lt. Col. Karey J. Speten, RPMD operations research systems analyst.
"It's a huge benefit for Soldiers and the units," Speten said. "They can now interact with each other, and the units can select the Soldiers they want to fill their positions."
The Marketplace was successfully tested with the Army Reserve's Active Guard Reserve, or AGR, population, and Soldiers and units provided positive feedback on the process.
The Marketplace is not just a tool for assigning Soldiers to positions; it's also a platform for communication and collaboration between Soldiers and units, she said.
