From the document: “The strength of any organization rests in its people. Ensuring a Government that delivers results for all Americans requires supporting the civil servants who do Government’s essential work. Improving the Federal hiring experience is essential to recruit, hire, and retain the workforce needed to respond to the full range of opportunities and challenges facing this country, from once-in-a-generation investments in the Nation’s infrastructure, competitiveness, and communities to managing the promise and peril of artificial intelligence.
This memorandum is the next step in a range of actions the Administration has taken to help agencies better compete for the talent they need to perform their complex missions. A comprehensive set of policy, operational, and technical Office of Personnel Management (OPM) initiatives under the President’s Management Agenda related to talent continues to yield results improving the end-to-end hiring process.
To sustain and build on this momentum, however, requires constant attention by agency leaders. Accordingly, this memorandum identifies critical steps to:
1) Strengthen strategic workforce planning, recruitment, hiring, and data analytics at the enterprise level, taking advantage of the scale of the Federal workforce;
2) Design and build an improved applicant experience;
3) Improve the hiring manager experience by ensuring applicants who are referred are appropriately qualified; and
4) Empower human resources (HR) professionals and minimize HR burden by simplifying processes and advancing hiring policies that increase the number of selections made from hiring actions using effective assessments”
