How MonsterGov Enables OPM’s Merit Hiring Plan
MonsterGov fully supports initiatives to modernize federal hiring and advance merit-based workforces. In fact, they’re the very reasons we exist: to bring private sector innovations and capabilities to federal talent acquisition. In response to OPM’s Merit Hiring Plan, MonsterGov conducted an analysis to illustrate how the Monster Hiring Management Enterprise (MHME) federal talent acquisition system (TAS) is already aligned, share plans for additional MHME changes, and suggest actions for client agencies.
MonsterGov’s Innovative, Efficient and Effective Federal Talent Acquisition System
Many components of the Merit Hiring Plan were existing OPM initiatives, such as sharing certificates, skills-based assessments, and reducing time-to-hire, which is why our MHME TAS is already well aligned. MHME is more than just an approved solution; it is the leading FedRAMP-secure federal talent acquisition system available. MonsterGov brings 23+ years of experience serving 100+ federal agencies, combining government-specific functionality with private sector best practices and data-driven innovation to reduce time-to-hire and advance hiring outcomes. MHME was purpose-built to meet federal needs, and as a commercial solution recommended by decades of government standards, goes beyond compliance to offer far greater power, capability, and flexibility than what other competitors can offer. Specifically, MHME features a time-saving and effective Position Classification system, streamlined Job Analysis technology, skills-based hiring assessments that allows agencies to re-use candidate scores across announcements, personalized virtual Onboarding, and other solutions that support the President’s seven goals and four key elements of the Merit Hiring Plan.
MHME’s Existing Alignment to Merit Hiring Plan
In addition to implementing our time-saving and power-boosting federal talent acquisition platform, MonsterGov can further enable federal agencies to align with the Merit Hiring Plan through: Deploying our off-the-shelf standardized alternative assessments for non-supervisory and supervisory positions through our MHME-integrated testing platform |
 Partnering with us to develop and implement agency and/or position-specific technical and alternative assessments |
 Automating your SME-based assessments, like structured resume reviews and structured interviews, with the MHME Collaborate module |
 Share certificates of eligibles (per CSA) through our Selecting Official module and implementing our future Shared Certificates module for MHME to quicken time-tohire and lay the foundation for a future candidate repository with resume mining, skills-based searches, and curated applicant lists |
 Utilizing the new, short essay questions added to MHME |
 Leveraging MHME’s templates for applicant communications and notifications and exploring avenues to expand |
 Offering a central location on the Corner client portal to store OPM’s standardized templates for position descriptions |
 Providing data to OPM on behalf of agencies to show progress on Merit Hiring Plan |
 Work with our Professional Services and I/O Psychology team for any additional custom implementations your agency requires for a more personalized and advanced hiring experience, such as custom cover sheets, trackable user-defined fields, and more! |
MonsterGov remains committed to governmentwide hiring priorities and collaborating with its agencies on strategic and effective innovations to streamline, automate, and advance federal talent acquisition. Our federal agencies have already vetted MHME as the best solution to support merit-based hiring and their decision complies with EO 14271, which prioritizes cost-effective, commercial technology for federal use. As with all OPM-led initiatives, we are actively clarifying requirements and will work with our agency partners to determine the best path forward.
