Pros

As a hiring manager, I’ve had a consistently positive experience working with our Talent Acquisition team. They are responsive, provide solid candidate recommendations, and take the time to understand the skills and experience needed for the role. Candidates are generally well informed about the position before manager interviews, including expectations around responsibilities and support requirements. TA also provides helpful insight into candidate expectations, which supports more effective hiring decisions. Overall, the partnership has been smooth and effective. Pros: Responsive and easy to work with Candidates well prepared for interviews

Cons

No reflection on TA; it does take a while to get backfill positions approved.

Pros

Collaborative culture with a sense that people want to do the right thing for customers. Leadership communicates the “why” behind decisions, particularly around long-term investments and system resilience.

Cons

Such broad, important work means balancing many stakeholder perspectives, which can slow decision-making. Unrealistic public expectations and public accountability can feel demanding, but that comes with the territory of public service.
