What about half-bloods? Are feds that are not SSA considered half-bloods? It depends upon whether it's a volume knob or an on/off switch. Perhaps it goes up to 11. . The volume control on my Fender amps goes up to 11, so there is precedent. Pixie |

I'm a 2022 interviewee, and I don't want to post that much this time since I have a sneaking suspicion that my "outsider" Muggle blood is going to keep me out of the mix, but someone closer to the agency must have an update as to what "soon" means, right? Apparently, 20 outsiders with "Muggle blood" were selected based on the recent update... so more difficult for outsiders, yes, but not impossible. My guess is that if you are an outsider and were even invited to interview, consider yourself fortunate. |

Have we gotten a second source on the 60? I’ve heard from someone “in the know” that the hiring committee is meeting this week. While the number may end up being right, the source (NTEU???) and the timing (before the hiring committee has met) are pretty odd. Haven’t heard anything to counter, it’s just strange. I guess time will tell. But calls are extremely unlikely to go out this week, or before June. Did we ever get a second source on intel that there are 60 new ALJs (40/20 insiders, outsiders)? |

I do not recall seeing a second source on that.
Not that this matters, but if agency is on same timeline as 2022, June 2 would be the day for calls, no?
Time will tell.

**IMPORTANT** I have spoken with the NTEU Chapter 224 President, who asked me to correct the inaccurate information posted about the Agency confirming 60 new ALJ hires, 40 internal and 7 which are NTEU members. THIS IS NOT ACCURATE! The question asked by NTEU to the Agency at the meeting was about how many hires and the breakdown of new Judges hired during the last round. IT IS NOT RELEVANT to the current hiring process.

Those aren’t even right for the last round.
Geez….

The NTEU Chapter 224 President asked me to post a retraction/correction. The question that was asked about the hiring at the meeting, was regarding the LAST hiring process - NOT THE CURRENT PROCESS. The Agency has not provided any information about the number of ALJ's to be hired during this current application process and has not provided any information regarding insiders vs. outsiders or members of NTEU. |

Okay- so where does that leave us? Someone said 35 or so before? Where did that come from?
With training class in August, and committee meeting last week, calls going out sometime in June?

I wonder if anyone with any real information can add to this discussion. Hopefully the calls come soon regardless.

My thoughts are to not panic and always pack a towel.

Well with the NTEU info retracted the only real substantive info is (1) Ramspider's information that the hiring committee meet all last week (5/15-5/19), and (2) the start/training dates disclosed for August. With the ACOSS still needing to sign off on whatever that committee concluded, whatever time table can be divined should fit within that framework. Draw your conclusions and maybe you'll be correct. A poll may also be in order. In past times that has been a good place to expend nervous energy. |

I threw together a poll based on last year's version. 2023 ALJ hiring--when will offers start? |

It’s obviously a different animal than last year, but I think we can at least identify parameters……
If you calculate offer date based on the date after last interview, there was a 6 week gap between the end of interviews and offers in 2022…. That would make calls happen on or around June 9.
If we assume report date is as we think - Aug 7 - and we go off the 3-4 week timeline they generally give folks to close up shop, then Jul 7/14 would seem to be the likely dates for offers. Thus, sadly, I don’t think we can be any more precise than that—somewhere between Jun 9 and July 14.

Thus, sadly, I don’t think we can be any more precise than that—somewhere between Jun 9 and July 14. I think it will be by mid-June at the latest as the 2022 cohort had interviews in early July 2022, and I wonder if "staleness" becomes a concern if not offered prior to that (assuming that 2022 cohort is still in the mix, of course). Again, I'll be like Petunia Dursley watching you all get Hogwarts letters with nada for me, but... Perhaps someone with some OPM/fed HR knowledge could shed light, but I've heard through rumors that the interview is only good for a year before you'd need to reinterview (assuming position hasn't closed by then)? Any truth to this? I can't find a citation, but I've definitely heard it before. I still think it will be before July, and people should keep checking the skies for owls. Muggles get an email from OPM when the announcement closes... |

Years from now, if anyone asks me about the worst part of the ALJ hiring process, it won’t be the application, the apprehension, or the ambiguity.
It’ll be all of those dadgumm telemarketing calls that I can’t stop answering.
