Methodology
Candidates for employment use the DS-0174 to apply for Mission-
advertised positions around the world. Mission recruitments generate
approximately 1 million applications per year, the majority of which
are collected electronically using an applicant management system,
Electronic Recruitment Application (ERA). Data that HR and hiring
officials extract from the DS-0174 determine employment eligibility and
qualifications for the position, and selections according to Federal
Policies.
