A new era in hiring in ABD! Artificial intelligence will now appear before civil service candidates.

ABD federal government is preparing to test an AI‑powered interview system to accelerate the hiring of public employees. The application, planned to be implemented in the federal public service where about 1,9 million people work, will initially be used within a limited pilot program.

The new system will be tested on candidates in the Tech Force program, which aims to temporarily recruit technology specialists working in the private sector for public duties during its initial phase.

AI will conduct the interview with candidates.

In the pilot, CodeSignal’s AI‑powered tools will be used to assess applicants’ submissions and conduct first‑stage interviews.

Candidates will speak with virtual AI representatives that pose pre‑determined standard questions. Interviews can be conducted in audio, video, or written formats.

After the interview, the system will transcribe the conversations and summarize the candidates’ responses. The resulting documents and summaries will be presented to the hiring managers for review.

The final hiring decision is planned to be made by human‑resources managers.

Goal: Shorten the Hiring Process

The U.S. administration aims to accelerate lengthy hiring processes in federal agencies. By employing artificial intelligence especially in reviewing applications and the initial interview stage, it intends to reduce the workload on human‑resources teams.

However, with the system’s deployment, preserving the human factor in critical personnel decisions is also on the agenda.

The Federal Government’s Personnel Management Office, responsible for human resources, advises agencies that they can leverage artificial intelligence in hiring, while stressing that major personnel decisions must always undergo human oversight.

Young Professionals Targeted

The AI‑powered hiring application is not just meant to speed up the process. The U.S. federal administration also aims to rejuvenate the aging public workforce.

Under this framework, it is planned that at least one‑third of the newly hired staff will be young professionals at the start of their careers.

First, it is expected that a decision will be made on whether the AI‑powered interview system, to be tested with Tech Force candidates, will be adopted by other federal agencies in the future based on the results of the pilot program.
