Title: Recruitment, Selection, and Placement (General) Job Announcement and Applicant Notification 
Abstract: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) proposes to amend the regulations concerning the content of a job announcement. OPM also proposes to add regulations to require Federal agencies to notify applicants at key stages in the hiring process; to require agencies to use alternative valid assessment tools, excluding lengthy written essays or narratives of knowledge, skills, and abilities/competencies, and to require agencies to accept cover letters and résumés as the initial application for a Federal job. With these changes, OPM plans to streamline the Federal hiring process and improve an applicant's experience.
