We value diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and support outreach to underrepresented communities, veterans, and people with disabilities.

• Employer Branding - We spread the m​essage with the Work For California​ campaign that the State of California is an employer of choice offering competitive benefits and opportunities to its large workforce. From TV appearances to marketing collateral, we act as ambassadors to market careers at the State of California. 

• ​Identifying and advocating for structural improvements​ - Working cross-departmentally enables us to see shared challenges and promote solutions with wide impact. We are especially focused on promoting innovative recruitment tools, technologies, and strategies for the benefit of all departments.​

We are a “big picture" team focused on making impact at scale by centralizing resources and sharing best practices across hundreds of state departments to achieve recruiting results.

We exist to help demystify state hiring processes and socialize the benefits of civil service with the general public and address  staffing risks in the State of California by building a diverse talent pipeline.
