Agencies are provided direct access to the OPM-developed competencies for use as a starting place in their own job analyses and assessment development. These competencies are already loaded into USA Staffing and available to all customer agencies through the OPM HR Manager competency networks. These networks are populated with job analysis (competency) information collected by OPM through government-wide surveys, referred to as the MOSAIC (Multipurpose Occupational Systems Analysis Inventory – Closed Ended) surveys. Although HR Manager, the original Internet-based tool designed to make the MOSAIC data available, was decommissioned in 2020, MOSAIC competency data are still available through USA Staffing (the OPM HR Manager competency networks).
- The Assessment & Selection section of the OPM Website contains helpful information and resources such as a PDF and Excel file of the MOSAIC competencies. These additional documents also explain why, in certain instances, there are multiple versions of a competency. In those instances, the reason for the additional definitions is noted.
- The Federal Wage System Qualifications section of the OPM Website contains helpful information and resources such as a list of approved job elements organized by Job Family, including which job elements are required screen-out elements.
- The USA Staffing Competency Networks User Guide contains helpful information for agencies seeking to create agency-specific competency libraries to supplement the system-level competency data provided. Please contact your USA Staffing Account Manager for questions regarding this guide.
- The USA Staffing Assessment Questionnaire Copy from File Template provides a template file for agencies seeking to use the competency ID information provided below when creating their questionnaire content. Please contact your USA Staffing Account Manager for questions regarding this template.
Each competency in the below table has a Name, Definition, and the USA Staffing Competency ID. The Competency ID can be used when creating questionnaires using the Add from Library or Copy from File functionality.
