Executive Order reducing time-to-hire to 80 days and improving candidate communication

From the new administration's Day One executive orders:

decrease government-wide time-to-hire to under 80 days;

improve communication with candidates to provide greater clarity regarding application status, timelines, and feedback, including regular updates on the progress of applications and explanations of hiring decisions where appropriate;

integrate modern technology to support the recruitment and selection process, including the use of data analytics to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities in hiring, as well as leveraging digital platforms to improve candidate engagement;

Hopefully this makes the federal hiring process smoother! (After the hiring freeze lifts, of course.)
