In December 2025, State Civil Service updated the SCS Hiring Framework as part of the statewide rollout of the Louisiana Competency Model. These corresponding updates help agencies apply competencies consistently throughout the hiring process, ensuring that selections are clearly linked to the skills and behaviors that drive success in state service. What’s New As of January 1, 2026, the updated SCS Hiring Framework will include: • Updated competency maps aligned to the Louisiana Competency Model • New supervisory titles added to the required SCS Hiring Framework list • Improved supplemental questions that strengthen candidate screening • Refreshed behavioral interview questions and interview activities that support consistent, competency-driven evaluation • Automated Structured Interview Tool (S.I.T.) Excel workbooks that streamline preparation, scoring, and panel collaboration Together, these updates give agencies clearer guidance and practical tools to support consistent, competency-based hiring decisions. Advancing SHIFT Through Collaboration and Practice The updates to the SCS Hiring Framework reflect how State Civil Service and agency partners continue to put SHIFT: Shaping How We Invest in Future Talent into practice. By strengthening the tools and resources that support the SCS Hiring Framework, we reinforce a shared, competencybased approach to hiring that promotes consistency, transparency, and stronger talent decisions across Louisiana state government.
