Shared Certificates

The Department of the Interior published Personnel Bulletin 20-14 (PB) on September 10, 2020 establishing a Shared Certificates Program within the Department of Interior (DOI) that expedites hiring by permitting DOI Servicing Human Resources Offices (SHROs) to share certificates of eligibles across DOI bureaus and offices. Additionally, on November 18, 2020 the Department issued Personnel Bulletin 20-17 establishing the DE Shared Certificates Policy within DOI to expedite hiring by permitting DOI Human Resources Offices to share DE certificates.

As a result of these new Personnel Bulletins, IBC has established a Shared Certificate process that will provide the opportunity to share certificates across our serviced client organizations upon request.

To learn more about Shared Certificates, please contact your servicing Human Resources Specialist.
