New federal employees must praise Trump EOs, submit to continuous vetting
Briefly

The new federal hiring plan introduced by the administration seeks to expedite recruitment and reduce costs, notably by limiting resumes to two pages and creating a resume pool. However, critics argue the plan complicates the hiring process, stating the removal of self-assessments hinders efficient evaluations. It requires more rigorous assessments for candidates, contributing to considerable manual work for HR. Critics, including a federal HR official and a government affairs VP, emphasize that the plan could politicize public service roles and create unnecessary obstacles for hiring managers and applicants alike.
The amount of manual labor involved in the new hiring policies is insane and will ultimately make hiring harder, not easier, according to a federal HR official.
Requiring loyalty tests for federal employees complicates recruiting efforts, as it politicizes the process rather than focusing on the necessary skills for public service roles.
