ANNAPOLIS, MD—In an effort to support federal workers impacted by recent layoffs and firings, Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced a new streamlined hiring process for four critical state government positions. The initiative aims to expedite the hiring process for Human Resources, Procurement Officers, Accountants, and Fiscal Accounts Technicians.
Governor Moore emphasized the initiative’s dual purpose, stating, “Today’s actions mark the latest in our commitment to protect federal public servants against these attacks from Washington and connect them with opportunities to serve our state.” He added, “This new streamlined process will help us hire qualified applicants more quickly, bridge the employment gap, and grow our economy. Maryland is mobilizing, and together, we will leave no one behind.”
Under the Maryland Department of Budget Management, this initiative creates one-stop-shop job pages where federal workers can apply for positions across various agencies and locations with a single application. Applications will receive expedited consideration and potential interviews within weeks.
This program is part of a larger strategy by the Moore-Miller Administration to support Marylanders and bolster the state’s economy. Previous actions include developing a dedicated resource website for impacted federal workers, which has had 109,000 unique visitors and received 152,000 views, and launching a program to connect federal workers with teaching careers.
Federal workers interested in applying for these positions can do so through the Maryland state government website. Applications will be accepted until May 2nd, with subsequent waves of positions opening on a recurring basis.
