Quick route
Start with the correct DMW route
Current DMW regional guidance tells Direct Hire applicants to log in through eRegistration, choose Direct Hire, and upload the documentary requirements through POPS-Direct.
Do not treat upload as approval
Uploading documents starts government evaluation. Direct Hire Clearance is a later DMW outcome; a pre-checker cannot predict or guarantee it.
Separate Phase 1 from later requirements
The checker keeps later Phase 2 items fail-closed until Direct Hire Clearance is confirmed, so users do not accidentally treat later OEC-related steps as already satisfied.
