People First

Recently, the Department of Management Services’ People First team deployed a new platform to attract talented candidates to the state’s workforce. This new job site offers enhanced navigation tools and includes custom, agency-branded pages for state agencies to market their unique employment opportunities to candidates.
“Working for the State of Florida means being responsive to the issues impacting the taxpayers of our state while using innovative approaches to create efficiencies,” said DMS Secretary Chad Poppell. “The new People First recruitment site is aimed at recruiting top-tier talent from across the country to enhance Florida’s workforce and to engage individuals who are committed to providing exceptional service to Floridians.”
To date, more than 612,000 people have visited the new job site, more than 34,600 candidate profiles have been established and more than 49,500 applications have been submitted for job vacancies. Candidates can now search for openings by keyword, location (postal code and region), career opportunity and agency, making the process easier and more productive for individuals searching for employment with the state. Candidates also can establish alerts to direct the system to email them when job vacancies that match their custom criteria are posted.
