Lovaglio-Miller urges use of hard-to-recruit title designations
Lovaglio-Miller says the city could designate high-vacancy titles as hard to recruit, which would eliminate residency requirements and the 15% lower new-hire rate, tools she says the city is not using.
We also wanted to talk about the hard to recruit titles.
So the city of New York has the opportunity to deem titles that have large vacancies as hard to recruit.
There are some, there is a listing of hard to recruit titles already out there.
By deeming a title hard to recruit, it eliminates the residency requirement.
It can eliminate the new hire rate, that 15% lower salary for new hires that they have.
There's things that are at their disposal, tools that are at their disposal that they can utilize that they are not necessarily utilizing at this time.
I know they also spoke about the new DCAS advisory committee that the unions are a part of.
I will say to you and submit to you that it's been interesting.
We have been having a lot of meetings.
Some of the feel on the union side, though, is that the city already has an agenda and a plan of what it is they would like to do, and they're basically trying to get us to sign on to it.
