StateScoop: The Office of Personnel Management has proposed delegating direct hire authority for IT professionals to agency heads.
OPM published a proposed regulation Monday in the Federal Register that would give CFO Act agencies the direct hire authority (DHA) rather than reserving that power for itself.
The regulation cites the recent executive order “Enhancing the Effectiveness of Agency Chief Information Officers,” which calls for OPM to delegate “to the head of a covered agency authority necessary to determine whether there is a severe shortage of candidates or a critical hiring need for information technology (IT) positions under certain conditions, sufficient to justify a DHA.”
