The Census Bureau is actively working to enhance its recruitment processes by utilizing the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) cross-government job announcements. This approach is designed to minimize duplicative recruiting efforts and speed up the selection process, which benefits both the agency and potential candidates. By leveraging OPM job announcements, the Census Bureau can reduce administrative workload for hiring managers and offer candidates a more streamlined application experience, ultimately resulting in faster onboarding and improved job satisfaction. For example, candidates who have already undergone structured assessments and comprehensive vetting procedures are readily accessible, allowing agencies to fill positions more efficiently and with greater confidence in candidate quality.
