How does ACES work?
ACES is a service delivery mechanism that truly automates the federal hiring process. ACES takes the federal hiring process content and uses the power of the Internet to build and post vacancies to the Department of Commerce web site. Interested applicants can review vacancy announcements and answer position-specific questions while on the web site. The system also allows applicants to create, edit and archive an electronic resume. After the vacancy announcement closes, the servicing human resources office uses the system to automatically rate and rank candidates according to pre-established criteria. The best-qualified candidates are instantly identified and forwarded to selecting officials.
