Engage Hiring Managers from Announcement to Selection
FedHire Selecting Official module offers federal HR teams an easy, effective, yet flexible approach to engage with hiring managers and selecting officials throughout the talent acquisition process. Whether to review a vacancy announcement or make a new hire selection, users have one central location to access their assignments instead of worrying about missed emails, lost attachments, or confusing requests. With a streamlined approach to engaging decision-makers, FedHire Selecting Official empowers agencies to make better and faster decisions while offering a more organized and engaging experience for their stakeholders.
As HR specialists assign certificates of eligibles, Selecting Official users can access all certificates for all their vacancies in one place, with a range of tools to support the new hire selection process. Selecting Officials have the ability to view assigned certificates, review documentation of referred applicants, provide selection decisions and feedback, and submit the annotated certificate back to HR. Selecting Officials can update phase scores and use bulk action features, such as printing applicant reports with specified criteria.
Federal agencies can use the Selecting Official module to facilitate different hiring decisions required by hiring managers throughout the process. Vacancy Review allows users to search by Announcement Number for specific vacancies and preview the federal job opportunity announcement (JOA) in either FedHire Hiring Management or USAJOBS. The Question Selection feature provides access to the agency’s library of personnel assessment questions with robust search, filter, view and selection options.
Federal HR teams can rest assured that critical decisions required by hiring managers are facilitated easily, correctly, and effectively. HR specialists can request user accounts for Selecting Officials, assign certificates when ready, and manage all required documentation. Automatic notifications are sent when certificates are assigned and annotated certificates are received to help users stay informed on the progress of each certificate.
Per the Competitive Service Act, FedHire Selecting Official can be used to share certificates of eligible candidates with other federal agencies, even if they aren’t a FedHire user. Originating Agencies can establish support for external access to FedHire to send a certificate of non-selected, best qualified candidates (who’ve opted in) to a Receiving Agency. Receiving Agencies can access these certificates and corresponding documentation for a fast-tracked approach to making a great hire.
