AF Streamlines Civilian Hiring

Week of January 05, 2009

Effective Jan. 1, 2009, selecting officials will have 45 days instead of 90 to choose the best-qualified candidates to fill civilian vacancies. Hiring officials are also encouraged to submit a personnel action as soon as they are aware there will be a vacancy. Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) officials are working on a single system that will streamline the hiring actions by replacing three existing systems. Air Force officials are scheduled to launch that system in February with all Pacific Air Forces bases; Lackland AFB, Texas; and Randolph AFB, Texas, as the test bases. For more information, visit AFPC's "Ask" website or call the 24-hour Air Force Contact Center at (800) 616-3775.
