VA’s hiring faster and more competitively improves access and the delivery of health services to Veterans. VA will improve staffing effectiveness; commit to hiring proactively; attract, recruit and retain the best candidates; onboard quickly and provide flexibility to job candidates seeking VHA employment to strengthen hire faster and more competitively. By September 30, 2025, VHA will attain a three-year average of at least 50,000 hires per year, use proactive recruitment for at least 35% of all backfill hires and achieve a median time-to-fill of 143 days or less.
