As part of an ongoing hiring campaign enabled by Inflation Reduction Act funding, the IRS modernized its primary vehicle to publicize job opportunities and hire new talent. "This is a historic period at the IRS as we work to transform the agency and improve our taxpayer service and compliance work," said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. "A key part of our effort involves hiring, promoting and developing qualified employees in a wide variety of fields to help the IRS continue improvements and serve the nation. We're looking for employees that want to serve taxpayers and the nation. To help attract qualified and diverse candidates across the country, the IRS is taking a variety of steps, including providing better tools and more ways for interested applicants to explore career opportunities with us." After rigorous beta testing, the hiring site irs.gov/jobs now provides a comprehensive landing spot for job seekers to find everything they need to pursue a career at the IRS, including:
The user-friendly site showcases the IRS commitment to service with a focus on potential employees that are interested in building careers with purpose. The IRS offers a positive work culture with an emphasis on work-life balance. The IRS plans to make additional improvements on the site in the future with additional features like career-mapping and a benefits calculator. People interested in the latest job openings and hiring events are encouraged to follow the IRS on LinkedIn and its recruitment handle on X (@RecruitmentIRS). For tax professionals interested in a career at the IRS, the IRS is hosting an exclusive recruiting event at the Nationwide Tax Forum, being held in Chicago, Orlando, Baltimore, Dallas and San Diego. Tax Forum registrants will be sent more information leading up to each forum and recruiters will be there to share more information about job openings, salaries and benefits. The IRS is also partnering with colleges and universities across the country to host students, faculty and recent graduates at special "IRS Tax Adventure" sessions. The program was created to connect students, faculty and recent graduates with IRS offices, hiring opportunities and events. Qualified students attending the Tax Adventure at the 2024 Tax Forums will have an opportunity to participate in an exclusive recruiting event. Why work for the IRS? Employment with the IRS provides employees an opportunity to serve their country. Careers at the IRS help ensure the tax system is administered with integrity and fairness.
