Bill overview
The Chance to Compete Act of 2023 aims to modernize federal hiring practices by shifting away from relying solely on degrees and towards skills-based assessments. It mandates that examinations include résumé reviews by subject matter experts and prohibits using only automated assessments or résumé reviews without expert review. The bill also encourages agencies to establish talent teams, share assessments, and utilize subject matter experts to evaluate candidates. Furthermore, it updates regulations regarding hiring practices and requires the Office of Personnel Management to create online platforms for sharing assessments and information about hiring processes.
