How your industry hires IT.

Six verticals. Six versions of "we need someone who can actually fix it." The platform is the same; the integrations, the rubric, the procurement paperwork are different. Pick yours.

How government hires IT with OpsTicket.

OPM grade levels were written before VMware. Hiring portals look the same. Meanwhile the helpdesk queue is 800 deep and the only senior sysadmin is retiring in March.

the pain

Procurement says yes. The hiring portal says wait.

You can buy us tomorrow on a state cooperative purchasing contract. You cannot, however, shortcut OPM 2210-series grading or skip the public-sector hiring panel. We do not replace the panel; we put a 40-minute graded scenario in front of it, so the panel only sees candidates who can actually do the work.

Session replay is optional with consent, and no hiring-duration outcome is claimed here. Public-sector use requires agency-specific review of the assessment record, retention, and panel process.
