Abstract :
Public and private-sector organizations are interested in attracting and retaining science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) talent-especially IT talent. This problem is particularly acute for human resources professionals employed in the federal government, where hiring and pay freezes, elongated and ponderous talent acquisition processes, and the inescapable requirements for security clearances (and consequently, US citizenship) allow no quick and easy solutions to talent-related deficits.
