Hiring Paths identify groups of job seekers who have had similar work or life experiences or were born in a specific race or with a disability. By attaching one or more Hiring Paths to a Job Opportunity Announcement (JOA), job seekers that have self-identified with those Hiring Paths will be able to find those announcements in their search for positions. Exceptions to this general definition include “The public,” which collects jobs for which there is no specific work or life experience requirement beyond being a U.S. citizen, and “Custom Announcement” which hides announcement postings from all search filters on USAJOBS and any other search engine.
The selection of at least one Hiring Path is mandatory to release to USAJOBS, but users should select all that apply.
The crosswalk page will help users determine which Hiring Paths should be considered for each announcement.
