The Department of the Navy needs to attract and retain a skilled and talented workforce to advance the mission and support the warfighter. With the launch of the President’s Civilian Hiring Reform, the process to recruit and hire a top quality workforce is going to become easier and quicker, positioning the Department to meet the challenges in the years ahead.

The hiring reform initiative spans the entire federal government and involves a multiyear effort to modernize hiring processes and related technology. It recognizes the link between the ability of the government to serve its American citizens and the capability of its public workforce. Without a doubt, a highly skilled and dedicated workforce will enable the Department to meet challenges of the future.

Applicants, employees, hiring managers and the public should visit this site often for the latest information on the Department of Navy’s action to improve and reform the hiring process. Questions on hiring reform may also be sent to the Department of the Navy resource center at DONhrfaq@navy.mil.

“To deliver the quality services and results the American people expect and deserve, the Federal Government must recruit and hire highly qualified employees, and public service should be a career of choice for the most talented Americans.

Americans must be able to apply for Federal jobs through a common-sense hiring process, and agencies must be able to select high-quality candidates efficiently and quickly.”
