What is the ED e-Recruit System (EdHIRES), implementation Plan?
ED’s e-Recruit System (EdHIRES), will be phased-in beginning in October 2004. On October 11, 2004, ED will move to an on-line application process for recruitment and filling of vacancies using EdHIRES. Paper applications will no longer be accepted, except for cases of extreme hardship. This will provide consistency in application processing across ED. Question development for mission critical occupations will be phased in through FY-2005 based on agency implementation plans. For any position not identified as mission-critical, the selecting official and/or Subject Matter Expert (SME) of the position should work with the HR office to develop questions to identify the “Best Qualified” candidates for any vacancy posted after October 11, 2004.
