Hirsch (signed) Chief Hydrologist Subject: Reassignment of U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Division Personnel to Water Resources Division Over the past several weeks, the Water Resources Division (WRD) has issued 110 vacancy announcements that provided potential reassignment opportunities for displaced Geologic Division employees. Geologic Division employees applied to 63 of these vacancies. From those applications, 25 were placed in various positions throughout WRD. Of those 25, 16 are in scientific positions. The reassignments involved the efforts of many employees to develop vacancies, interview candidates, and select the best qualified applicants in a very short timeframe. This all was accomplished in the spirit of interdivisional cooperation while also filling some critical staffing needs that have existed for some time. I greatly appreciate the efforts of everyone involved. As we move on past the Reduction-in-Force, I would remind you that there are still many talented people from the Geologic Division who have lost their jobs and should be considered for positions in WRD.
