Description

The Tech Hiring Leader Badge certifies advanced expertise in modernizing federal hiring practices for technical roles. This badge highlights the participant’s ability to lead initiatives that attract top technology talent, elevate their agency’s brand, and implement systemic changes to improve federal hiring processes. Through the 14-week Tech Hiring Training Program, participants developed leadership and change management skills to align recruitment strategies with the demands of the evolving tech workforce. Participants applied skills-based hiring, Human-Centered Design (HCD) approaches, and innovations such as SME-QA and pooled hiring to real-world agency challenges. They actively contributed to the development of the Tech Hiring Playbook—a practical resource for improving federal tech hiring practices—and delivered insights through a capstone presentation that showcased tailored solutions to agency-specific needs.
