    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    A. Purpose

        The goal of TTS is to modernize the way the government uses
    technology by applying modern methodologies and technologies to improve
    the public's experience with government. In order to accomplish this,
    we need to be able to attract top technical talent from across the
    country. This often means competing for talent with the private sector,
    where companies can often offer more robust compensation and benefits.
        In order to remain competitive, it is vital that we provide an
    exceptional candidate experience and maintain a strong brand
    reputation. Some of the ways we strive to do this is through providing
    clear job descriptions, thorough interview preparation and personalized
    candidate experience throughout the process. In doing so, we are better
    able to recruit more candidates into doing a tour of duty in the
    government. Candidate Surveys are a way for us to continuously measure
    how we are doing and make any necessary improvements to our hiring
    process so we can continue to hire and attract the top talent we need
    at the rate we need them in this demanding market.
        By consistently asking applicants and candidates for their feedback
    and reviewing the survey results, we can pinpoint what areas in our
    process need to be modified, changed, removed, and/or added. Surveys
    allow respondents to remain anonymous and will be sent out three times
    during the hiring process:
         After a candidate applies to a role. Data at this stage
    will help us understand if our job descriptions provide a clear
    understanding of the roles and responsibilities that we are hiring for.
    It will also help us understand if our website has thorough enough
    information about the overall hiring process or if there are more
    resources that we can be providing.
         After a candidate interviews. Data at this stage will help
    us understand if we are properly preparing candidates and interviewers
    for interviews.
         When the candidate is Selected or Not Selected after the
    Interview. Data at this stage will help us understand what the
    candidate's experience was with their TTS recruiter overall and if
    there is anything they think we can improve upon.

        Respondents: 7,400.
