===========================================
USAJOBS.gov is the U.S. Government's official system/program for Federal jobs and employment information. USAJOBS delivers a service by which Federal agencies meet their legal obligation (5 USC 3327 and 5 USC 3330) providing public notice of Federal employment opportunities to Federal employees and U.S. citizens.

Technology and program operations offer Federal agencies and job seekers a modern platform to support online recruitment and job application. USAJOBS is funded by agency fees, assessed on a pro rata share of the expenses to run the program. The investment provides a basis of support for the OPM Director's Strategic and Operational Plan specifically To Build and Sustain Excellence in the 21st Century Workforce, thereby Fixing Federal Hiring.

Success and continued progress of goals are tied to the USAJOBS application and its ability to manage integration of other agency systems with USAJOBS - OMB Memo M-09-20 to Provide Applicant Status during selection process. Also, other initiatives intended to address the Federal hiring shortcomings and improve the hiring process for all concerned.
