Federal government recruitment and hiring will be revamped and updated. On, May 11, 2010 President Obama signed a memorandum calling for federal government hiring reform.<\/p>\n

The memo calls for removing the essay-style questions in the application process because of the lengthiness they present. It also called for increased involvement in the hiring process itself by managers.<\/p>\n

In the memo Obama said, \u201cTo deliver the quality services and results the American people expect and deserve, the federal government must recruit and hire highly qualified employees, and public services should be a career of choice for the most talented Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYet the complexity and inefficiency of today\u2019s federal hiring process deters many highly qualified individuals from seeking and obtaining jobs in the federal government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This reform has been called a \u201chistoric opportunity\u201d by Marilee Fitzgerald, the Pentagon\u2019s acting deputy undersecretary of defense for civilian personnel policy, for its ability to finally get rid of the out-of-date system.<\/p>\n

Currently the bureaucratic red-tape may limit talent because applicants may be deterred. This is first hiring reform act since the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and will prompt widespread changes.<\/p>\n
