Looming Retirements Spur Recruiting at IRS

The IRS is stepping up recruitment to fill anticipated gaps in a number of specialized fields, including information technology and appeals officers, ahead of a wave of retirements.

Along with IT specialists and appeals officers, the list also includes engineers, economists and tax law specialists.
