<h2><span>Our interview process: What to expect!</span></h2>
</div>
<div class="desktop:grid-col-8">
<p class="font-body-lg">For candidates selected to interview, here’s our process:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Accessibility:</strong> If you are selected to interview, a member of our Talent Team will be in touch to ensure any accessibility considerations are covered. We typically conduct interviews as video calls, however, we realize that this option may not accommodate everyone’s needs. Throughout the hiring process, please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have a preferred method of communication and we will work with you to create a positive experience. If you require accommodations, please contact us directly at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">[email protected]</a> at least 24-48 hours in advance of your scheduled interview.</li>
<li><strong>Written submissions</strong> may be requested as a part of the qualification process. More information will be provided on the <a href="{{ site.baseurl }}/apply">apply page</a> when the application is live.</li>
<li><strong>PIF interviews</strong> include questions regarding skills (your self-identified area of expertise), core competencies (behavioral questions, leadership, and/or navigating ambiguity), and core values (including diversity, equity, and inclusion). The PIF team will provide questions in advance of interviews to allow candidates time to prepare.</li>
<li><strong>Agency interviews</strong> are with PIF’s federal agency partner(s). This is a conversation with the agency’s PIF project champion. The PIF team will share finalist resumes with agencies who then identify candidates that they would like to interview.</li>
<li><strong>Format:</strong> All interviews occur virtually and are typically scheduled for 1-2 hours in length. We offer live captioning and other accessibility assistance to all candidates.</li>
<li><strong>Offer Process:</strong> Once the agency interviews are complete, the PIF team will meet with each agency to discuss their selections. This gives us our list of finalists to whom we make offers! We operate within the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), and the GSA HR team will then make tentative offers to selected candidates. The PIF team will also set up calls with each incoming PIF to welcome them into our program and community, and answer any questions!</li>
<li><strong>Onboarding:</strong> PIF augments GSA onboarding with a week of PIF-specific programming, followed by each PIF onboarding at their respective agencies.</li>

October 2024 - January 2025: Candidate qualification
</button>

<div id="a2" class="usa-accordion__content usa-prose">
<p><strong>Qualification</strong></p>
<p>Once the application window closes, our multi-hurdle qualification process will begin. Only candidates who move through all hurdles and are deemed qualified will be considered for conversations with agency partners. </p>

<p><strong>Resume review</strong></p>
<p> The first hurdle of qualification is the GSA HR team conducting eligibility and resume review. Please review the specialized experience and IT competencies <a href="{{site.baseurl}}/apply/#:~:text=they%20are%20matched.-,Expertise,-To%20minimally%20qualify" data-proofer-ignore>listed above</a>. Candidates who make it past initial review will move on to the written assessment stage of qualification.</p>

<p><strong>Written assessment</strong></p>
<p> All candidates who meet initial qualification will receive one week to complete a written assessment consisting of scored and unscored questions. Submissions will be reviewed and scored by subject matter experts.</p>

<p><strong>PIF interviews</strong></p>
<p>As the final hurdle in our <strong>qualification</strong> process, candidates who score highly on the written assessment will advance to PIF interviews which include questions regarding skills (your self-identified area of expertise), core competencies (behavioral questions, leadership, and/or navigating ambiguity), and core values (including diversity, equity, and inclusion). The PIF team will provide questions in advance of interviews to allow candidates time to prepare. </p>
<p>All interviews occur virtually and are typically scheduled for 1 hour. We offer live captioning and other accessibility assistance to all candidates upon request.</p>
