BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) has been searching for a temporary technical writer with fiscal expertise to document EHSD’s fiscal processes flow. There are no positions within Fiscal who currently perform this type of work. In March of 2020, EHSD reached out to other temporary employment agencies. Robert Half International was the only agency to propose a resource with the broad knowledge of fiscal operations and technical fiscal writing as well as experience in interviewing fiscal staff and recording operational information in technical terms. This position will not continue beyond the completion of the project.
