Advisory Services

Delivered directly by a currently DE-certified practitioner and OPM Human Capital Framework Evaluator with 15 years inside federal human capital — including department-wide accountability audit leadership at Commerce. When you need more than a toolkit.

Team Training

Live virtual training for your staffing unit on DE compliance, veterans’ preference, category rating, qualification standards, and exam readiness. Off-the-shelf sessions are SF-182-eligible with completion certificates — the same easy channel as our prep products. Custom-developed programs (needs analysis, tailored curriculum, and materials) also available.

Half-day $1,500 · Full-day $2,500 · Custom programs $5,000–$12,000

Retained Advisory

Strategic advisory for your staffing operation — transformation, not transactions. We review your current procedures and processes for improvement opportunities, plan and implement changes to your quality review process, and build training plans that sharpen your HR Specialists’ skills and keep them current as federal HR evolves. A monthly block of hours, applied where your operation needs to grow.

From $3,000/month

Quarterly Accountability Program

Ongoing accountability for your delegated examining operation: each quarter, a structured review of your DE case files and personnel actions plus your hiring policies and SOPs — delivered as a findings report, corrective action plan, and leadership briefing. Built to satisfy the DEOH annual self-audit obligation and keep findings small before they compound. The review is sized to your operation — a random sample for high-volume offices, or a complete file review for smaller ones.

OPM Audit Readiness Review

The deep pre-audit review, modeled on OPM’s own evaluation methodology: a full compliance sweep of your hiring policies, SOPs, and procedures, followed by rigorous case-file review across your announcement history — job analysis, JOAs, qualification determinations, preference adjudications, certificates, and selections. Findings report and prioritized corrective action roadmap, so you surface it before the auditors do.

Corrective Action Execution

When findings need hands, not just a plan: case file reconstruction, re-run qualification determinations, corrected actions, and audit-response documentation — performed by us while your specialists keep operations moving. Quoted after a findings report defines the scope.

$185/hour · monthly blocks available

Broader HR operations engagements — shared services design, PAR stabilization, operating models — scoped on request.

About Foresight Federal

Foresight Federal was founded by Jamica Davis, a certified DE practitioner with 15 years of federal HR experience spanning staffing, recruitment, accountability, and strategic HR at the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Jamica has prepared agencies for OPM evaluations and conducted audits across multiple bureaus covering all four Human Capital Framework systems. She has reviewed hundreds of case files, managed corrective action plans, discovered illegal appointments, and watched the same compliance failures repeat across audit cycles — not because the rules are unclear, but because nobody built a system to prevent the errors before auditors found them.

Foresight Federal exists to change that. Every product and service is built from real audit data and practitioner experience — not theory, not templates, not generic compliance checklists. The work reflects what actually goes wrong in federal staffing operations and what it takes to fix it.

Credentials: MPA, American University. BS, Winston-Salem State University. DE Certified. Former Senior and Supervisory HR Specialist in the Federal Government. Former Deloitte and Accenture consultant. OPM Human Capital Framework Evaluator.
