Legislation has been introduced in the Senate federal workforce subcommittee to allow agencies to share applicant assessments to help cut down on duplicative work.
Introduced by Sen. John Tester, D-Mont., the Competitive Service Act has the support of the Partnership for Public Service.
“Kudos to Senator Tester for proposing common-sense, cost-effective federal hiring reforms that will allow agencies to more efficiently hire top-flight candidates,” said PPS president Max Stier. “The legislation will authorize agencies to share their best-qualified job candidates with one another, which will enable our government to recruit better talent, in addition to saving time and money,” he added.
