Direct Hire Authority (Dha) Solicitation Jobs

674,575 open positions · Updated daily

The Direct Hire Authority (DHA) process has become a cornerstone of federal talent acquisition, allowing agencies to recruit qualified professionals without the lengthy FAR procurement cycle. With over 2030 openings across departments such as Defense, Treasury, and USAID, DHA roles are in high demand, offering rapid hiring timelines and competitive federal benefits.

Typical positions include Federal Recruiter, Contracting Officer, Acquisition Specialist, and DHA Solicitation Specialist. Candidates draft solicitations, manage contract awards in SAM.gov and GSA eBuy, ensure compliance with FAR and DFARS, and coordinate with agency stakeholders to secure essential talent for mission‑critical projects.

Salary transparency is crucial in DHA roles because it aligns with federal pay scales (GS levels) and helps applicants compare offers across agencies. Clear pay data reduces wage disparities, attracts top talent, and builds trust in the fast‑track hiring process.
