City HR reports 321 hires in past year and vacancy rate down to 8%
Summary
City HR told trustees it hired 321 new team members in the past year, reduced the vacancy rate from 12% to 8%, and reported police recruitment gains including 106 new officers and 48 recruits entering the academy.
In a staff update to the Civil Service Board of Trustees, HR presenter Mister Edgel said the city hired 321 new team members over the last year and reduced the vacancy rate from 12% to 8%, figures he cited as evidence of progress in recruiting amid city growth.
Edgel also highlighted public-safety hiring: "we were able to hire 106 new police officers and we have 48 that are getting ready to start an academy within the next couple of weeks," he said, adding that wage competitiveness with nearby jurisdictions helped recruitment. The presentation tied those metrics to the city's strategic plan and to ongoing efforts to build career pathways for employees.
