Establishing a recruitment campaign to attract former federal civil service workers to the municipal workforce.

This bill would require the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to establish and implement a civil service recruitment campaign targeting former federal civil service employees who were laid off or incentivized to depart the employ of the federal civil. Such a recruitment campaign would include the distribution of information relevant to the process of joining the municipal civil service, including, but not limited to, upcoming civil service examinations, eligibility requirements for fee waivers, and anticipated timelines for hiring. DCAS would be required to post such informational materials on the department’s website in all designated citywide languages, and to conduct an advertising campaign on social media, agency websites, public transportation, and on the radio.
