Hiring Process Analysis Tool

OPM Hiring Process Model

One of the greatest challenges for a hiring manager is getting the right person on board in the least amount of time. If the Hiring Process moves too quickly, a qualified candidate may be overlooked. Conversely, if the process moves too slowly, the best candidate may lose interest in the position or may accept a different job.

This timeline tool is based on a generic process model for conducting efficient, high-quality hiring. Your agency may have more, fewer, or a different order of steps. However, OPM's model will help you identify similar steps in your process and diagnose areas of greatest need for improvement.

Here is how the tool works:

First, you'll explore each step in the OPM hiring process model and the recommended days to complete each step.
Second, you'll enter the number of days your agency actually takes to complete each step. As you progress, you'll learn which steps may be the highest priorities for your agency to adjust.
Third, you'll learn which of your steps deviate the most from the OPM model.
