Practice Area Spotlight: Public Sector & Government

In today’s ever-evolving hiring market, government and public sector agencies face growing pressure to fill roles quickly and efficiently — without compromising on quality. At FGP, our executive search team understands the challenges that government & public sector organizations face. Whether local, regional, or national, these agencies are often bound by specific hiring protocols and compliance requirements, which can result in a more complex hiring process. At FGP, our team takes the time to understand the specific needs of the organization, resulting in an efficient and effective hiring process.

Here’s how we can help support government and public sector groups as they recruit for top talent.

1. Access to Specialized Talent Pools

FGP utilizes a comprehensive nationwide recruitment strategy to reach diverse and highly qualified candidates. Our search strategy is grounded in the belief that recruiting is an action and focused primarily on the sourcing and recruitment of passive candidates. We maintain databases of pre-vetted candidates, including those with specific qualifications, niche technical skills, previous experience in the public sector, and more.

2. Faster Time-to-Hire

Knowing that government roles can be challenging to fill, we work to reduce time-to-hire by managing the process for agencies: establishing a clear position description, sourcing & presenting candidates, coordinating interviews, and negotiating terms. Particularly in today’s hiring market, time-to-hire is a differentiator, so we work to get your search process underway so you can find the talent you need, when you need it.

3. Adaptability to a Variety of Roles

We also understand that not every government or public sector role is full-time or permanent. With a full team of staffing recruiters in addition to our executive search team, we can supply qualified candidates for temporary positions, seasonal work, or specific projects. This gives agencies the flexibility to scale their workforce based on priorities or budget cycles throughout the year.

4. Organizational Advisory & Strategic Support

In addition to filling roles, our HR Consulting team can provide strategic workforce consulting to public sector & government organizations, helping to integrate a new leader or  develop existing talent within your organization. Our team offers people development, organizational advisory, succession planning,  compensation consulting, fractional HR, outplacement services, and more.

Government and public sector agencies serve vital roles in our communities and to meet their missions effectively, they need the right people — and fast. With a full suite of service offerings from temporary to executive roles and consulting services, our team has expertise that empowers government agencies to focus on what matters most: serving the public, locally, regionally, and nationally.
