E-gov - USAJOBS

Since USAJOBS provides a central portal/repository for Job Opportunity Announcements, the cost savings alone provide significant benefits to net a positive return on investment. Currently, USAJOBS supports 135 customers who do not have to spend investment dollars to build and maintain individual job boards and interfaces to support the job posting process. In addition, benefits include lower costs for interoperability, because USAJOBS provides a Staffing Integration Framework (SIF) that is adopted by the Talent Acquisition Systems (TASs). As a result, agencies do not have to pay for point-to-point interfaces to USAJOBS. In addition, the SIF also lowers the barrier-to-entry for new Talent Acquisition System providers, which enables the government to seek better value solutions for its hiring needs. Lastly, the benefits of USAJOBS includes streamlined reporting capabilities to remove/reduce hiring-related data calls pertaining to the dataset collected in USAJOBS. USAJOBS estimates it helps agencies avoid anywhere from a $250,000 to $10M investment in creating its own job and opportunity boards. They are able to provide third party recruitment partners access to the 200K+ job announcements posted each year at no cost. They also carry the burden
of securing the data and managing the job seeker/applicant's privacy which significantly reduces risk and avoids cost burdens for the agency. USAJOBS is targeting a 10% reduction in ineligible applicants in FY19, now that the hiring paths are implemented and change management activities are underway. This can net a governmentwide costs savings of over $4M (i.e., 11,040,380 USA Staffing applications x 10% = 1,104,038 applications), Federal HR labor costs could decrease by approximately $4.1M annually.
