Some HR agency and new civil service system was implemented and it seems like everything is taking longer now. My department has had 2 vacancies since June that haven’t been filled yet.

At least that’s what they said during the PA Congress hearings when it was getting approved.

My agency actually participated in those hearings. We basically said, “this is not going to work like you think it will due to X, Y, and Z.” We were patted on the head and told you don’t know anything. We were right.

and in the meantime they're still throwing out applications from qualified candidates in favor of interviewing veterans that turn down the job, resulting in not filling vacancies and non-veteran candidates getting frustrated and not applying for commonwealth jobs anymore.
