Recruitment Program / Outreach Efforts
EZ-Hire is EPA’s web-based recruitment and application system, accessed through OPM’s USAJOBS Web site. This system allows applicants to browse, register, receive electronic notification of vacancies and apply to EPA jobs. Use of EZ-Hire and USAJOBS has helped EPA compete successfully with the private sector for environmental engineers, scientists, lawyers and other environmental professionals. A variety of intern programs, as well as an active presence at all levels of the education system keep EPA’s name and work known to potential applicants. EPA also retains a strong presence in appropriate professional societies and organizations whose members serve as a source of quality applicants for mid- and senior- level positions within the agency. The Senior Environmental Employment (SEE) Program provides an opportunity for retired and unemployed older Americans age 55 and over to share their expertise with the EPA.
Recruitment Bonuses and Student Loan Repayment
During FY 2007 and 2008, EPA granted 36 recruitment bonuses totaling $345,498 and 29 student loan repayments totaling $163,618 to assist in its recruitment efforts.
Hiring Projections
EPA will continue to hire in the broad professional areas that are at the core of its mission, such as environmental engineers, scientists, lawyers and other environmental professionals, as well as in key support functions such as contract specialists and program/management analysts. EPA will also recruit undergraduate and graduate students for its various intern programs.
