Acting Commissioner Tigani and Deputy Commissioner Caphart discuss HPD's recent recruitment efforts, including new job postings and active hiring processes. They emphasize the agency's commitment to filling vacancies quickly.
- HPD posted 32 new job openings in the past week
- The agency is actively hiring and moving forward with recruitment as soon as they get approval
- Many of the new postings are for City of Yes positions, with some candidates already at the offer stage

And just so as an example, and deputy commissioner Dargo correct me, we posted for 32 lines just this week.
2:14:44
So we're in a place where we're actively hiring.
2:14:46
Once we're given the green light we're moving forward.
2:14:49
And I had mentioned earlier that we are also supplementing that work so as we hire people we're trying not to lose step on projects and moving forward.

You know, the chair was a key driver in the City of Yes process pushing for additional HPD headcount.
2:15:03
That was a major priority of hers.
2:15:05
It's not usually the sexiest topic of kind of headcount at city agencies when we're talking about investments that we need to make in our communities, but it's because she and we all understand that if HPD doesn't have bed count, we're not gonna get the affordable housing projects and the preservation projects that we all need to see in our communities.
2:15:19
So we continue to be very concerned about that.
Gardea Caphart
2:15:21
And postings council members posting that the commission mentioned those are primarily our CEO of the expositions that we are ramping up hiring for.
2:15:27
So we have a bunch of them posted now and we are actively recruiting.
2:15:30
We have made some offers of candidates that are there are a few that are already at OMB, so we are definitely moving on those.
