4.2.4: Applicant Pool

Improve management of the applicant pool while making the process manageable for applicants.

Other Information:

Agencies should improve efforts to manage the applicant pool while making the process manageable for applicants. Recent improvements to USAJobs.gov and the developing use of mobile e-recruitment platforms have resulted in significant strides in this area. However, there is still a need to continue to improve recruitment strategies, vacancy announcements, and communication with applicants. For example, enhancing ongoing communication with applicants will encourage applicants to await a final decision rather than abandon the federal job search in favor of alternative employment.
