[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone gotten an interview lately? Anyone’s application status change on USA jobs?  I also applied and have heard nothing. [/quote]

None of these positions have been filled. For the positions they opened in early August, some candidates were interviewed in mid-September, however, no final decisions have been made as of yet. The certificates for the August positions expire in early to mid-November. However, they can be extended. The agency is having problems filling these positions because of the current political climate. A lot of people are hesitant to join CFPB and the agency is not getting the quality of candidates they want. Most applicants have been out of law school for a year or two max and many have limited experience, no government experience, and don’t have a proven interest in the agency’s mission. Culture fit is huge at CFPB and they don’t want people without a genuine financial regulatory interest at the agency.  It’s expected that the positions will eventually be filled, as after the freeze ended, the agency internally stated it  wanted to hire over 150 employees attorney/non-attorney by the end of the year. The agency has many sections that are seriously understaffed. Lastly, as I noted, the candidate quality has been poor, however 300-400 people applied to each of these positions. [/quote]
