Abstract: Applicants interested in applying for jobs with the FAA voluntarily complete the online Web based application (USAJOBS/AVIATOR) process. The information is reported on occasion. AVIATOR facilitates the FAA hiring process with instant certification of qualified candidates for employment. It allows simultaneous online application submittal; screening and testing; scoring and notification; eligibility list placement; and referral for interview. Once applicants electronic application form is complete and the job announcement date expires, FAA AHR performs its Qualification Reviews process. The data gathered from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Application for Employment is analyzed and evaluated by AHR specialists to identify applicants with required qualifications for a variety of positions within the FAA. While the FAA is exempt from provisions relating to normal competitive examination processing within Title 5, USC, Sections 3302-3305, this process enables the FAA to establish a selection pool of best-qualified candidates to fulfill its many critical safety-related jobs.
