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.
