Council Member Williams asks how CCHR can attract talented federal candidates given salary constraints. Commissioner Palma explains the appeal of public service work and CCHR's approach to recruiting.
- Public service is viewed as a 'badge of honor' for passionate individuals
- CCHR welcomes applications from federal employees who have been laid off
- The agency emphasizes the meaningful nature of the work to attract candidates
- While unable to compete on salary alone, CCHR focuses on the mission-driven aspect of the job
- The agency expresses confidence that federal candidates would be happy to work at CCHR despite potential salary differences

There are a lot of talented federal candidates who will be looking for jobs.

I'm sure that whatever, you know, we can if we are allowed to hire them, we're allowed to make an offer, I'm sure that they will be more than happy to be working at CCHR.
