HR 159

Sponsored by Virginia Foxx (R)

Chance to Compete Act of 2023

Would have required federal hiring tests to use expert-reviewed résumé checks instead of automated self-checks.

Tradeoff

Would have banned federal job tests that rely only on automated self-checks or résumé reviews without experts, starting two years after enactment. Agencies could waive the ban, but no more than 10% of positions could be filled that way.
