Obama Memorandum Sparks HR Web Portal For Federal Hiring

The Alliance for Hiring Reform, a recently created alliance between Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO), Aon Hewitt and PDRI, have launched a new web portal in order to offer access to articles concerning federal hiring, research reports, educational webcasts and events, as well as tools to help determine the value of a hire in dollars.

“Our aim is to provide valuable information to agencies seeking to comply with the President’s mandate to reform federal hiring practices to achieve quality talent acquisition,” said Dr. Elaine Pulakos, a spokesperson for AHR.

The AHR built the portal as a result of President Obama’s May 11^th memorandum which directed the Office of Personnel Management, federal agencies, as well as hiring managers to increase efficiency of hiring in addition to improving the quality of hires.
