OPM Director Kay Coles James Announces
Over 42 Million Visitors to Improved USAJOBS Web Site
More
than 6.6 million visits in month of February; highest monthly
number to date
Washington, DC
– Over 42 million users have visited the
new U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) USAJOBS web
site since its launch in August and more than 6.6 million
visits were logged by job seekers in the month of February
alone -- the highest monthly number of visits ever for the
web site -- according to OPM Director Kay Coles James. In
addition, over 414 million web site pages have been viewed
and nearly 400 thousand online resumes have been created and
posted on the web site.
"The enhanced USAJOBS web site, www.USAJOBS.opm.gov,
is one of many initiatives developed to attract the best and
brightest to the federal work force," stated James. "Part
of President George W. Bush's Management Agenda E-Government
initiative -- Recruitment One-Stop -- USAJOBS consolidates
federal jobs in one place and allows users to spend more time
applying for jobs rather than just trying to locate them."
OPM recently rolled-out powerful new designs for the USAJOBS
and Student Jobs web sites delivering improved graphics, search
pages, and site maps. Many of the changes were implemented
as a direct result of user feedback.
"The feedback we receive is critical
because we base future improvements on web site users' input,"
James added. Job seekers' satisfaction is closely monitored
using the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), and
in February reached a USAJOBS all-time high score of 76.
"We strive to create a web site tool that is easy to use
and will attract people looking for careers in the federal
government," James said. More significant improvements
to the web site are scheduled for April.
