So what I can say is for titles that are hard to recruit where agencies may have a hiring need, we are able to provide them with passers lists well before the exam is officially established so that they can engage these these candidates in the process and to keep them excited about the the work that that the agency and the agency's mission and vision, right.

But there's no way for us to understand why folks are not, you know, showing up for the interview process, what we call a fail to report.

But there are notices that the agencies have to provide these candidates to, you know, inform them of the ability to restore themselves to the list.

And you know, we provide agencies with training on the civil service list call process so that they are that they are aware of what they need to do.
