Hiring Reform and Changes to the Application/Hiring Process

The Hiring Reform is a comprehensive initiative by the Obama Administration to improve the recruiting and hiring process for both the hiring official and the applicant. In short, the President’s initiative simplifies the application process, improves on candidate quality, and makes the overall hiring process quicker and easier.

Visit www.opm.gov/hiringreform/ for more information.

Notable Changes to the Federal Application and Hiring Process

  • Applicants are no longer required to complete standardized written tests commonly known as a civil service test
  • A resume and optional cover letter are acceptable documents to submit for almost all vacancies
  • Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) narrative/essay-style questions have been eliminated
  • Online questionnaires or submission of additional forms may still be required

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

  • Please pay close attention to the information listed under “How to Apply” in each job opportunity announcement
  • USAJobs will never request personal information via unsolicited e-mail
  • Remain alert for fraudulent e-mail that advertises positions managing financial transactions, or cashing checks
  • Remain alert for Federal employment scams: Federal agencies and the Postal Service never charge for applications, sell study guides for examinations, or guarantee that you will be hired
