The Department of Finance outlines its recruitment priorities, focusing on city tax auditors, Deputy Sheriffs, and principal administrative associates, rather than assessors.
- City tax auditors are the immediate priority, with 26 offers made and 14 candidates in the interview queue; a hiring hall is scheduled next week.
- The recruitment process for Deputy Sheriffs involves a physical agility test, medical and psychological evaluations, and a background investigation, with 240 out of 2,100 candidates passing the physical test so far.
- Principal administrative associates have 22 vacancies, set to be filled through a hiring hall later this month.
- The Department is open to working with council members on hiring initiatives.

Our priority right now is in three areas in the short term city tax auditors.

There was an old civil service list that we kind of exhausted.
5:52:45
We've been hiring provisionally.
5:52:47
In the meantime, we've had I think 26 offers that we've given and another 14 who are people who are in the queue for interviews.
5:52:56
Next week, we're holding a hiring hall for city tax office or auditors off the new civil service list.
5:53:04
Deputy Sheriff's, we are working on.
5:53:06
That's a lengthy process.
5:53:07
They have to first pass a physical agility test, then a medical evaluation, a psych evaluation, and then a background investigation.
5:53:14
So that's a lengthy process, but we've started the physical agility test.
5:53:18
We called 2000 people.
5:53:21
So far, 26100 people, I guess, now.
5:53:23
I think and so far, we've had 240.
5:53:26
I think roughly people have passed the physical agility test.
5:53:29
So we have 32 vacancies right now in deputy shares, so I think I expect we'll be able to fill those.
5:53:37
And then principal administrative associates.
5:53:40
We have 22 vacancies to fill, which we are also going to do later this month through a hiring hall.
5:53:47
They're critical kind of across the board in our operations.

Schneider mentioned, they're a big part of exemptions in a lot of other places as well.

Preston Niblack
5:54:03
Sure.
5:54:04
It's a decast run thing, but we're happy to work with anybody to help with our hiring.
