MonsterGov Preparing Wave 1 TAS Agencies for HCM Integration

Despite ongoing challenges with the core HCM contract award, MonsterGov is continuing to collaborate with OPM and the HCM team to prepare Wave 1 agencies to integrate their talent acquisition systems once a decision is made. OPM confirmed the HCM system will align to HCBRM and HC-FIBF, which is designed to support integrations to all agency vendors, including MonsterGov. With our federal TAS already FedRAMP-authorized and our experience with OPM integrations, we’re aiming to make this integration as seamless as possible for agencies. More details in the post below!

MonsterGov FAQs Added to RoM Guide

Well, it’s official! The deadline to fully implement OPM’s Rule of Many has passed. We hope our MHME users found our Rule of Many (and other Merit Hiring Plan) guidance helpful as you continue optimizing your hiring strategies. And with that, we'll leave you with our updated MHME Guide below that now includes our FAQs. We're always in your corner - reach out to your MonsterGov rep if you need any additional support.

Aligning with Federal CHCOs

The MonsterGov team enjoyed being on-site at the Federal Leaders Guide to the CHCO event by Federal News Network and Gallup. With a packed schedule of insightful speakers, MonsterGov was excited to see and speak with so many great leaders of the federal workforce community, such as OPM Director Scott Kupor, CHCO Council Executive Director Colleen Heller-Stein, and VA CHCO Tracey Therit. We look forward to continuing these important discussions as we evolve alongside our agencies.

Thanks for Driving Government Efficiency
with MonsterGov!

As you can see, we were all 'smiles' at SSLC's “Driving Government Efficiency: Measuring Results” event and got to tune into great panels featuring speakers from GSA, OPM, and QSMOs. Even our own MonsterGov VP of Government Relations Melissa Wojciak moderated a session with US GAO’s Steve Sanford and Niskanen Center’s Gabe Mechaca on the need for collaborative and partnered workforce innovation.
