DOD Talent Chief Aims to Reform Hiring to Attract Gen Z

The Defense Department’s chief talent management officer underscored the urgent need to attract members of Generation Z to civilian defense careers during a panel discussion.

At a recent panel discussion on government talent acquisition, Brynt Parmeter, the Defense Department’s chief talent management officer, underscored the urgent need to attract members of Generation Z to civilian defense careers.

The panel convened yesterday to discuss solutions to an emerging problem: A large portion of DOD’s civilian workforce is approaching retirement age, forcing its agencies to adjust how they recruit and retain early-career professionals to fill the void.
