Government & Public Sector
Workforce Modernization
3 autonomous agents predict attrition, recruit talent, and automate onboarding. 35% better retention.
Agentic AI Workflow
3 autonomous agents transform government workforce capabilities
The Challenge
Government agencies couldn't compete for talent and were losing experienced workers to retirement
A federal agency with 12,000 employees faced a retirement wave with 30% of the workforce eligible within 5 years. Average time-to-hire was 98 days, compared to 34 days in the private sector. Voluntary turnover among employees under 35 was 24%.
HR processed 15,000 applications annually with manual screening that took 3 weeks per posting. New employee onboarding required 23 separate system provisioning steps across departments, taking 2 weeks and frequently resulting in day-one access issues. No predictive attrition tools existed.
The agency needed faster hiring, better retention of young talent, and streamlined onboarding.
The Solution
Agents that predict flight risk, recruit efficiently, and onboard seamlessly
Vijan.AI deployed 3 agents. The Attrition Predictor scores flight risk using tenure, compensation competitiveness, engagement survey data, and career progression patterns. When risk is high, it recommends targeted retention interventions. The Recruiter agent posts positions to job boards, screens applications against qualification requirements, and ranks candidates using structured scoring. The Onboarder agent provisions all 23 system accounts, assigns role-specific training, schedules orientation sessions, and assigns mentors automatically.
Autonomous Agents
How each agent reasons, decides, and acts
Step 1 · Training
Training Compliance Agent
Competency-Based Training Management
Identifies skill gaps through competency assessments and assigns mandatory and development training, autonomously tracking compliance with regulatory certifications and routing workforce readiness data to recruitment.
Input
Employee competency assessments and regulatory training requirements
Output
Personalized training plans with compliance tracking and skill development paths
- Calls learning management system to assess current employee competencies against position requirements and strategic needs
- Queries competency framework to identify critical skill gaps in areas like cybersecurity, data analytics, and citizen experience
- Autonomous decision: assign mandatory compliance training, recommend development courses, or approve external certifications
- Forwards workforce capability analysis to Civil Service Recruiter to inform targeted hiring for persistent skill shortages
Step 2 · Recruitment
Civil Service Recruiter
Strategic Talent Acquisition
Manages end-to-end civil service recruitment including job posting, applicant screening, and interview coordination, autonomously applying merit-based selection and passing qualified candidates to onboarding.
Input
Vacancy announcements with position descriptions and qualification requirements
Output
Qualified candidate selections with merit system documentation
- Invokes applicant tracking system to post openings, collect applications, and rank candidates by qualification scoring
- Calls assessment tool to administer skills tests, veterans preference calculations, and structured interview rubrics
- Autonomous decision: certify eligible candidates, request additional interviews, or reopen recruitment for insufficient applicants
- Transitions selected candidates to Onboarding Credentialing agent for background checks and employment processing
Step 3 · Onboarding
Onboarding & Credentialing Agent
Automated Onboarding and Credentialing
Orchestrates new employee onboarding including background checks, credential verification, and benefits enrollment, autonomously completing compliance requirements and feeding workforce analytics back for continuous improvement.
Input
Selected candidates with completed applications and hiring approvals
Output
Fully credentialed employees ready for productive service delivery
- Calls HRIS to create employee records, process I-9 verification, and enroll in payroll and benefits systems
- Invokes credential verifier to conduct background investigations, license validation, and security clearance processing
- Autonomous decision: grant access credentials, schedule orientation, or delay start pending clearance completion
- Feeds time-to-hire and onboarding quality metrics back to Training Compliance for workforce planning optimization
