Kaschit Pandya lied, there is in fact no hiring being done for new IRS IT jobs.
In case anyone's been keeping track, it is now month 2 since the IRS IT All-Hands meeting. I have yet to see any new hiring or job postings being done for IRS IT on USAJOBS.
I have seen some murmurs on r/usajobs regarding "TechForce" hiring being done for IRS IT, and I certainly hope that's not what he meant by opening up new 175 IRS IT jobs. Considering that TechForce seems to be a 2-3 year contract, and not an actual permanent fed position.
Also, the leaked IRS employee headcount document for 2027 explicitly states that there are no plans to increase IT employees for 2027. I can only conclude that the CIO lied.
