3 What are we hearing from our clients? More than anything, they are looking for a healthy and nurturing workplace and organizational culture. Hiring managers are ignoring workforce needs for the long term. Attracting candidates from families or cultures that do not have a tradition of public sector work may prove difficult. Looming government workforce crisis is not even on the radar screen for too many state and local elected officials Government agencies must prioritize talent, make a compelling case for public sector employment, develop targeted recruiting strategies and streamline the hiring process. States and local authorities hard hit by budget pressures often lack the resources to offer attractive entry level positions Public sector leaders can and should focus on developing qualified candidates of their own.
