## Summary

**Create coordinated agency technology and artificial intelligence talent teams to improve federal hiring for tech and AI roles.** The bill would set up agency-level talent teams, expand the Office of Personnel Management's hiring support, and build an online platform for sharing and customizing technical assessments. - Agencies and hiring managers would get dedicated talent teams with recruiters, assessment experts, and subject matter experts to help write job announcements, run examinations, share certificates of eligibles, and support pooled hiring across components. - Applicants and subject matter experts would see more job-specific technical assessments, including structured interviews, coding tests, work exercises, and resume-informed reviews. After five years an examination must not rely solely on an automated self-assessment unless a Chief Human Capital Officer grants a posted waiver. - The Director of the Office of Personnel Management would be able to create a Federal technology and artificial intelligence talent team to lead cross-government pooled hiring, provide training, and operate an online hub where agencies can share and rate technical assessments.
