OIG's hiring policy and process

OIG's hiring procedures maximize the independence of the office and help ensure OIG employees are nonpartisan and free from conflicts of interest. OIG fills positions directly without going through the City's Department of Human Resources, to support our independence and objectivity as an agency with oversight over City employees and departments.

OIG publicly posts job openings on its website and other third-party job sites. For most positions, after the posting period has closed, a screening committee reviews the applications to select candidates for an interview conducted by a panel of OIG supervisors. The applicant's materials and summaries of first-round interviews are presented to a Hiring Committee constituted of senior management, which recommends applicants for interview and final selection by the inspector general.
