DHS/ALL/PIA-043 Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer Talent Acquisition

Talent Acquisition is a Federal Human Capital Business Function whereby federal agencies establish internal programs and procedures for attracting, recruiting, assessing, and selecting employees with the right skills and competencies in accordance with federal merit system principles. Talent Acquisition includes aligning workforce plans to organizational strategies and business needs, recruiting qualified individuals, evaluating candidates, processing suitability determinations, and integrating new employees into the Department. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) and DHS Component Human Capital Offices rely on various systems to support Talent Acquisition processes. An appendix has also been updated to detail a variety of IT systems used by DHS components which collect PII during the hiring and onboarding process in addition to the systems listed in the original PIA.
