USAJobs (styled USAJOBS) is the United States government's website for listing civil service job opportunities with federal agencies.{{cite web |url= https://help.usajobs.gov/index.php/About_Us |title= About Us |work= USAJobs.gov |date= 2011-05-27 |access-date= 2012-06-23 |archive-date= 2012-05-14 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120514024758/https://help.usajobs.gov/index.php/About_Us |url-status= live }}{{Cite web|last=Nyczepir|first=Dave|date=2020-10-13|title=USAJOBS to make 4 recommended updates to user experience|url=https://www.fedscoop.com/usajobs-updates-opm-gao/|access-date=2021-07-26|website=FedScoop|language=en|archive-date=2021-07-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210726200822/https://www.fedscoop.com/usajobs-updates-opm-gao/|url-status=live}} Federal agencies use USAJOBS to host job openings and match qualified applicants to those jobs. USAJOBS serves as the central place to find opportunities in hundreds of federal agencies and organizations.{{Cite web|title=USAJOBS Help Center {{!}} About USAJOBS|url=https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/about/|access-date=2021-07-26|website=www.usajobs.gov|archive-date=2018-02-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180214014425/https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/About/|url-status=live}}{{PD-notice}} The site is operated by the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

Many seeking employment through this system have encountered significant barriers, and the hiring process has proven opaque and is driven principally through keyword algorithms rather than through human evaluation of job qualifications.{{cite web|title=It's Not You, It's Me: USAJobs – A Broken System|date=11 August 2020|url=https://biomedicalprograms.georgetown.edu/blog/its-not-you-its-me-usajobs-a-broken-system/|access-date=13 February 2022|archive-date=13 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220213012552/https://biomedicalprograms.georgetown.edu/blog/its-not-you-its-me-usajobs-a-broken-system/|url-status=live}} However, OPM and USAJOBS claim that resumes are primarily reviewed by human HR specialists at various agencies with some automated matching as part of a larger contextual review.{{cite web |url=https://www.usajobs.gov/Help/faq/myths/resume-scanned-for-keywords/ |title=USAJOBS Help Center {{!}} Resumes are scanned for keywords by an automated system |access-date=2022-10-21}}
