Overview

The Department of Health and Human Services has implemented an automated staffing solution to streamline the hiring processes department-wide. HHS Careers is built on the QuickHire system.

HHS Careers uses job specific questions to evaluate candidates. NIH tasked teams composed of HR professionals and IC subject matter experts to develop standardized questions and position descriptions that are unique to NIH. Using HHS Careers, highly qualified candidates are ready to be hired quickly, which will be a competitive advantage for NIH. In today's environment, the best applicants for scientific, technical and professional jobs don't always wait 3-6 months for employment offers.

Interested applicants no longer focus on writing "good" KSAs (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) as is required with USAJOBS. With HHS Careers, applicants will respond to position-specific questions that demonstrate the KSAs required to successfully perform the job.
