What 23 Million Applications Reveal About Fair Hiring in Government

Public sector organizations play a crucial role in shaping equitable access to opportunity and representation across the workforce. The 2025 Diversity Report webinar explores the latest findings from over 23 million job applications submitted between January 2022 and June 2025, alongside comparative insights from U.S. Census Bureau data. This year’s report highlights both progress and persistent challenges in public sector hiring equity. Attendees will gain data-driven insights into how diversity trends are evolving across key job categories, salary levels, and hiring stages. The session will uncover where representation is increasing and where systemic barriers still exist, especially in higher-salary roles and managerial positions. In addition to reviewing the data, the webinar will outline actionable strategies agencies can adopt to build more equitable hiring practices. From skills-based qualification reviews to structured interviews and bias-mitigation techniques, participants will leave equipped with practical steps to drive measurable DEI outcomes within their own organizations. Join us to learn how data can inform meaningful progress toward a more inclusive public workforce and what you can do to close the representation gap. #publicsector #government #govtech #diversityequityinclusion #recruiting #neogov
