 Good afternoon,
In response to Executive Order 14170 titled, "Reforming the Federal Hiring Process and Restoring Merit to Government Service," today the Domestic Policy Council and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management issued a memorandum titled, "Merit Hiring Plan," which includes the following appendices:
- HR Best Practices That Agencies Must Adopt
- Primer on Custom Job Postings
- Table of Current Federal Hiring Authorities
- The 135 Job Series for Which USA Hire Currently Has Validated Assessments
- Overview of Technical and Alternative Assessments
- OPM Resources for Agencies to Maximally Adopt Technical and Alternative Assessments
- Primer on USA Hire
Beginning on June 30, 2025 and continuing on the last business day of each month, each agency CHCO, working with the agency’s Talent Team, will prepare a report to update OPM and OMB on the progress of implementation within each agency. The initial report shall identify the members of the agency’s Talent Team and their expected roles (including the Talent Pool Manager and Shared Certificate Coordinator), along with the agency’s specific plans for recruitment in the areas of veterans, early career, and STEM. Each monthly report will also include the agency’s report on:
- Its progress in eliminating DEI in hiring, recruitment, retention and promotion;
- Its progress in building recruitment programs in alignment with this Merit Hiring Plan to attract highly-skilled, patriotic Americans to join the Federal service;
- Its progress in implementing technical assessments and cut scores, including policies around the use of cut scores;
- Metrics on the agency’s use of shared certificates, talent pools, and resume mining; and
- Its progress in reducing time-to-hire.
All reports shall be sent to merithiring@opm.gov and workforce@omb.eop.gov.
For questions and support, please email HX@opm.gov.
