JOBS/TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDERS: “This order directs important, merit-based reforms that will replace degree-based hiring with skills- and competency-based hiring and will hold the civil service to a higher standard — ensuring that the individuals most capable of performing the roles and responsibilities required of a specific position are those hired for that position — that is more in line with the principles on which the merit system rests.”
-Donald Trump, “Executive Order on Modernizing and Reforming the Assessment and Hiring of Federal Job Candidates,” whitehouse.gov, June 26, 2020
