What do you like best about USAJobs?

A searchable database allows the user to search by many parameters to find job openings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about USAJobs?

This application process works like a black hole and prevents very qualified and enthusiastic candidates from applying. Many positions are filled before being posted and there is so much text to weed through on each page that it's difficult to find the critical information. Also, there are algorithms that search for certain key words to determine eligibility, but that is all very mysterious to the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering USAJobs:

Figure out key terms to use in your application materials; contact an individual human before you submit to ensure the job is open and a good fit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is USAJobs solving and how is that benefiting you?

It attempts to hire new talent for government jobs, but does a very poor job. It is often redundant with hiring decisions that have already been made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
