WisDOT Having Hiring Problems; Walker's Pay Raise, Bargaining Limitations Aren't Helping
Seems WisDOT is having trouble filling engineer vacancies. Here's the somewhat unusual hiring application re-announcement.
Who'd come here for 1% annual pay raises?
[Wednesday evening update: And why is DOA refusing to approve some requests from DOT to fill vacant positions and meet federal accountability and financing requirements? The positions in question would be financed with federal, not state dollars.]
Separately, the department is looking for recruiting help through its employee newsletter. Diverse hiring is certainly an important goal, but the timing is curious.
Help recruit new employees for WisDOT
One of the goals of the Department of Transportation is to recruit and retain a diverse workforce. The Bureau of Human Resource Services (BHRS) works with managers and supervisors on identifying recruitment resources during the staffing process.
In order to ensure we are attracting a diverse applicant pool for our vacancies, BHRS is reaching out to all department employees to learn of new or existing
recruitment resources we could use. As a department employee, you may be
aware of resources in your communities, organizations or internet outreach
resources that could assist the department in attracting a diverse applicant
pool.
Please take a moment to complete this short survey<http://2.selectsurvey.net/wisdot/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=m810n88>to help BHRS build an effective recruitment resource database.
Thank you in advance for your help

Greg Gracz is way over his head.
For a field like engineering or IT, Wisconsin government is going to be a big loser. You can't offer $48,000 a year for an engineering job, but dish out six-figures for these ceremonial figure head positions.
When a $115,000/year fireman is administering the state's human resources department, it's no wonder why they can't afford to dish out more than $48,000 for an engineer.
