In a dynamic and complex political environment, Georgetown Public Policy Institute (GPPI) is partnering with Accenture’s Institute for Public Service Value to develop a series of dialogue sessions for public managers and policy makers to discuss the managerial, technical, and leadership challenges of implementing large-scale policy and management change.

Recruiting and Hiring Tomorrow’s Federal Workforce: Expectations and Demands of the Next Generation of Public Servants

June 4

The federal government is the largest employer in the United States. However, the government is just starting to explore new methods to attract a new generation of workers—workers who come with a unique set of experiences and expectations. While the government as a whole is only now using new recruitment methods, there are a few agencies that are leading the way in the utilization of new media marketing tools to attract young people into federal service. This session will discuss both recruiting methods, including the use of technology and social media tools, and the overall hiring process itself, which some critics have argued is both slow and cumbersome. The overall focus of the session will be to define how the federal government can enhance its ability to recruit the next generation of public servants.
