Whether it’s the possibility of a new administration or replacing a wave of retirees, every agency needs to know how to fill vacancies at the executive level.
Linda Springer, the executive director of Ernst and Young’s Government and Public Sector division and the former director of the Office of Personnel Management, joins In Depth to discuss recruiting and retaining before, during and after a Presidential election.
Springer recently spoke at the National Academy of Public Administration’s “Memo” events series about fixing the hiring process for political appointees and strengthening the federal workforce.
