Applicant Testing
All DCAA audit job candidates must complete and pass an online USA Hire assessment to be considered for an open job.
The score you earn is good for a year. If you do not achieve DCAA's passing score on the assessment, you must wait a full year before you can retake it and be considered for any other positions as a DCAA auditor.
Within 24 hours of submitting your application, you will receive an email with a link to this USA Hire assessment. If you don’t receive this email, check your spam folder or junk mail. If you need further assistance, reach out to the contact person listed on the Job Opportunity Announcement, or submit a Help Desk ticket for technical issues.
