The IRS will host a series of hiring events across the country through July, aimed at recruiting individuals for key seasonal roles, including customer service representatives and tax examining technicians.
“These hiring events are an important step in strengthening our workforce and improving the taxpayer experience,” IRS CEO Frank Bisignano said in a statement on June 4. “We are looking for individuals who want to make a meaningful impact while building a rewarding career in public service.”
The IRS says the hiring events support its ongoing efforts to ensure the efficient processing of tax returns and compliance activities. The agency says it’s seeking candidates who are “committed to public service, detail-oriented, and ready to assist taxpayers with professionalism and integrity.”
Positions available through these events include:
- Customer service representatives: Research multiple computer-based programs and resources to provide tax-related assistance to taxpayers over the phone.
- Tax examining technicians: Analyze and resolve tax processing problems, adjust taxpayer accounts, and respond to taxpayer inquiries regarding preparation of a variety of tax returns and related schedules.
The hiring events will be held in multiple locations across the country. The IRS recommends applying to the USAJOBS job announcement before going to the event. IRS hiring officials will make on-the-spot job offers to qualified attendees who applied before the event, the agency said.
