Chance to Compete Act of 2023

The Chance to Compete Act of 2023 reforms federal hiring practices for positions in the competitive service by establishing new standards for assessments used in the hiring process. It prohibits the use of automated self-assessments and certain résumé reviews after two years, requiring instead passing score assessments that directly demonstrate job-related skills. The bill mandates agencies to publicly post any waivers to these standards, limits waivers to 10% of positions, and requires OPM to create an online tool tracking hiring data including demographic information. This affects all federal agencies hiring through the competitive service and the applicants for those positions.
