Lets federal agencies improve how they hire tech and artificial intelligence experts.

This bill would let federal agencies create special teams to hire technology and artificial intelligence experts more effectively. It would also change how these jobs are tested and assessed, making it easier for agencies to find skilled people and for applicants to show their abilities.

What Would Change

Today, federal agencies use established hiring practices. These might not be ideal for specialized technology and artificial intelligence roles, making it hard to recruit and assess expert talent. If this bill passes, federal agencies could create dedicated talent teams to improve hiring support and develop better technical assessments. After five years, job tests for these roles would no longer mainly rely on automated self-assessments.
