Trump White House recruits at a Hill job fair amid staff exodus

The White House – which has been having trouble filling positions as it bleeds staffers – is now trying to find recruits at a conservative job fair on the Hill.

“Interested in a job at the White House?” is the subject line of an email that was blasted out widely to Republicans on the Hill late Wednesday advertising the upcoming event.

It promises that “representatives from across the Trump administration will be there to meet job seekers of every experience level.” A person familiar with the planning said that Johnny DeStefano, who oversees the White House personnel department, and Sean Doocey, a deputy assistant to the president for presidential personnel, are expected to be on hand, among other officials from the West Wing.

The flyer lists positions open in the White House as well as a handful of government agencies including Defense, Interior, Commerce, Homeland Security, Health & Human Services, NASA, Energy, and Treasury.

“There are positions currently open and we are looking for the most competent conservatives to recommend,” the flyer, shared with POLITICO, reads.

Recriting at a job fair is seen as an unusual step for a White House to take. Typically jobs in the executive branch are coveted career-making opportunities.

The Trump White House, however, has had difficulty bringing new people in as staffers have resigned amid ongoing chaos and a crackdown on security clearances – or, more recently, been fired as part of a purge of people accused of leaking information to reporters.

The departures have hollowed out the ranks of lower-level staffers, with dozens departing from various policy offices as well as the press and communications shops.

Perhaps most prominently, the position of communications director has sat vacant since Hope Hicks departed in March – but that post is not expected to be filled at the Friday job fair.

Promoted six times and then fired: Inside a 24-year-old political appointee’s wild ride in Trump’s Washington

He was one of the fastest-rising political appointees of the Trump administration, an unpaid campaign intern with no professional experience who soared into a top job with a six-figure salary at the White House’s drug policy office. But on Jan. 14, in the hours after a front-page Washington Post story cast doubt on his ­résumé and qualifications, ­24-year-old Taylor Weyeneth was feeling vulnerable.

“Can I ask you what the plan is for me now,” Weyeneth texted the White House official who had ­promoted him.

“You’re fine. No action required,” Sean Doocey, then the deputy director of the Office of Presidential Personnel, wrote back. “It is garbage journalism by a garbage newspaper.”

Two months later, Weyeneth was gone — demoted, told not to speak publicly and finally fired as the political fallout spread.

This is the inside account of a political appointee’s time in Trump’s Washington. It’s the story of a young operative whose central qualification was loyalty and whose responsibilities included furnishing the White House with intelligence about career employees at a time when the administration distrusts the standing bureaucracy to an unusual degree.

Weyeneth recently agreed to a request from The Post to talk about his experiences in the administration and the unusual circumstances that enabled him to climb through the ranks and into the White House. He provided emails, texts and other documents to back up his account.

In just over a year, Weyeneth received six promotions in the campaign and administration. They culminated with his appointment as deputy chief of staff at the Office of National Drug Control Policy, where he oversaw veteran employees and helped steer an operation that was supposed to lead the fight against the opioid epidemic.

“This is more than I ever dreamed of,” Weyeneth recalled thinking, even as he worried about a possible backlash over his lack of qualifications: “Have I reached too far? Is public opinion going to take over? Is this going to become an article?”

Sad. After he won, Trump had literally tens of thousands of mid-level corporate lawyers sending resumes to greatagain.gov

now he can't hire anyone. This is what he gets for showing zero loyalty to his staff.

They were happy to work for Reagan - who had the most criminal and scandal-plagued administration in history. Manafort built his career as a conduit to foreign dictators for Reagan.

Traditionally White House staffers lower than the upper echelon get filled by the kids of rich donors. I doubt the people Trump is trying to attract via a Hill job fair are any less capable.

(1) trump doesn't defend his supporters -- he only cares about counter-punching when he's personally attacked. see: squelching of free speech on twitter (trump says nothing), trump supporters attacked at rallies (trump says nothing), trump supporters purged from NSC (trump does nothing). so you're on your own.

(2) trump prefers an adversarial environment pitting staffers against each other which leads to plenty of leaks and infighting

(3) the people responsible for filling admin jobs are GOPe and they hate actual trump supporters and ding them from jobs

(4) career democrats slowwalk security clearance approval for trump supporters

(5) job options are limited when you exit because the swamp hates nationalists

because of these reasons yes its very hard to get a job as a trump supporter within the administration, hard to keep one, and your job prospects are much more limited than if you were in any other admin

Most the former WH employees the article talks about though aren't Trump people, they're the 2nd rate establishment hacks who joined the administration - and they're having trouble.

There's a serious problem here, but I don't think it's really a lack of candidates. They simply haven't placed a high priority on choosing or pushing through the willing candidates that exist.

There are qualified Trumpmos who want positions but can't break in because they don't have the kind of Hill staffer and/or lobbyist backgrounds that the GOPe people running the Personnel Office (which is also massively understaffed and run by junior, inexperienced people itself) seem to favor. It's less a real shortage than a disconnect.

Maybe CPI can help push some people through, but the fact that their career fair is literally being held in a Congressional office building should tell you what you need to know.

It's entirely because of incompetence in the hiring process. Among other things, the personnel office should have far more people working in it than it does, but apparently Kushner (not flame) wanted to run it "like a business" with very few staffers and it's caused a permanent clusterfuck.

Sure, its "entirely" because Kushner is allegedly making a conscious decision to not staff the office. It has nothing to do with the fact that everyone who works for Trump ends up diminished or indicted
