CalPERS launches statewide multimedia recruitment campaign to fill vacancies

A CalPERS staff member announced a statewide multimedia recruitment campaign that will begin next week and run through the spring, with a repeat effort in the fall, aimed at filling vacancies across the system, the staff member said at the agency’s Sacramento headquarters.

The campaign will use billboards and video and will feature current CalPERS employees who the staff member said ‘‘feel a very strong sense of belonging, a pride in working in this organization, and want to be a part of recruiting others to share the experiences that they have while working here.’’ The staff member said one of the billboards includes images of team members and that Frissy Archuleta from the actuarial office will be prominently featured.

The announcement followed introductory remarks welcoming new board participants and thanking outgoing board member Lisa Middleton for more than six years of service. The staff member said the system will share links and additional materials by email to board members and that regional offices, not just Sacramento, are part of the recruitment effort.

The staff member also noted onboarding support for recently joined board members, saying the team is available to help and encouraged new members to reach out with questions. The speaker said the campaign aims to broaden applicant pools across California and to fill ‘‘a number of vacancies around the organization.’’

CalPERS did not provide specific counts of vacancies or budget details for the campaign at the meeting. The staff member said the team would keep the board updated on progress.
