Your Mission Isn't Generic. Your Hiring System Shouldn't Be Either.
You deserve a purpose-built talent acquisition system that is federally compliant AND adapts to your agency’s unique requirements, not a one-size-fits-all government platform. FedHire gives you the flexibility to configure your system to support all the ways your agency hires, while continuously evolving based on customer feedback.
FedRAMP-Authorized (Yes, Security Matters).
FedHire has maintained full FedRAMP Moderate authorization for 3.5 years with annual third-party security assessments and continuous monitoring – the gold standard for protecting sensitive federal data. Unlike basic FISMA compliance, FedRAMP’s rigorous, standardized framework delivers stronger, more consistently enforced protections than government-grown systems, especially when developed by agencies only meeting Level 2 maturity ratings (FY2025 FISMA Audit). Your agency’s hiring data and your applicants’ personal information deserve nothing less.
Real People Answer the Phone.
When your HR specialist has a system question at 2 pm, they reach an actual human who can see exactly what’s happening and guide them, not an email black hole. When an applicant calls about their application, someone answers. If your agency has a new process they’d like to implement, you can speak to your ApplyGov representative who can pull in the necessary ApplyGov team members, whether I/O Psychologists or our solution engineers. We believe in customer service that actually serves customers.
Built for Federal Hiring, Not Federal Bureaucracy.
We offer best-in-class Job Analysis, Position Classification, and Onboarding tools that go beyond basic applicant tracking, reduce time-to-hire, and support a more accurate and aligned hiring program. Agencies can leverage templates, reference data, and libraries instead of starting from scratch. FedHire is compliant with federal, state, AND agency-specific regulations, while staying current with administration priorities like the Merit Hiring Plan and EO 14271’s commercial-first mandate.
Agency-Owned and Agency-Controlled Data.
Our agencies have complete ownership of their talent acquisition data and that means having more flexibility and control over how it’s used. Whether pulling standard or ad-hoc reports, configuring trackable data fields, extracting data to feed your agency’s data warehouse, sharing data with OPM, or working with ApplyGov to set up automatic data integrations, including the upcoming Core HCM system, the power is in your hands.
Laser-Focused on Hiring Solutions for Government.
Our core mission for federal agencies is to deliver powerful, flexible and efficient talent acquisition systems. Our agencies’ hiring teams are not competing with other federal human capital programs, like benefits, payroll or retirement funds. You have our attention!
Contracts that Actually Mean Something.
Through competitive procurement and standard federal contracts, you can hold us accountable if we don’t deliver. No vague and mismanaged interagency agreements (flagged by GAO) that bypass recommended acquisition practices and where commitments disappear post-signature. Just transparent pricing, clear deliverables, and real consequences if we fail to perform. That’s how federal contracting is supposed to work.
ApplyGov is always in your corner.
ApplyGov is working hard to advocate on your behalf and encouraging OPM to focus on providing clear policy guidance and encourage IT acquisition best practices, including collaborating with the private sector.
If your agency is facing pressure to move to USA Staffing, it’s important to have all the facts. There is no mandate requiring agencies to adopt a centralized Talent Acquisition System. Most recently clarified in the joint memorandum from OPM Director Scott Kupor and OMB Director Russ Vought, TAS platforms are not considered part of federal HCM centralization efforts, rather, they will be integrated. ApplyGov excels at integrations and will be ready to work with whichever vendor is selected for the Core HCM.
We welcome the opportunity to speak with your agency’s HR stakeholders, and even CHCOs, to answer any questions, provide guidance or clarity, and better understand your challenges so we can best support you. Whatever you need, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re ready to support your continued success.
