                                        I hope this testimony has conveyed that while we do not directly control the hiring processes of individual city agencies, we work diligently to support them in meeting their hiring needs.

                                        We are committed and passionate about helping New Yorkers join city government, and we are working tirelessly to position the city of New York as an employer of choice.

                                        Hiring and retention hiring and retaining the brightest and most talented New Yorkers is one of our top priorities.

                                        The civil service system undoubtedly provides a pathway to the middle class for all New Yorkers.
