The IRS is Hiring. Employers Beware!
Want a new job? The IRS is hiring and advertising job opportunities on YouTube!
WASHINGTON DC-The Internal Revenue Service announced this week it is using YouTube to market IRS job openings for revenue agents, revenue officers, criminal investigation special agents, financial analysts and economists about employment opportunities at the IRS.
IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said, “Whether you’re a veteran or a recent college graduate, the IRS is a great place to work and build a career. The IRS has a wide range of jobs and needs a variety of skills to serve the nation’s taxpayers…”

The IRS believes that, “…showcasing our talented employees on YouTube gives applicants first-hand insight into whether or not they would be a good fit for a particular position.”
It’s not just YouTube the IRS has also launched a new “Careers Website”
In addition to the new YouTube playlist, the IRS recently launched a new IRS Careers Website with information on job openings. The site not only provides job information but markets the IRS. It starts out with:
“The IRS is the foundation for all that our nation is capable of – and we’re depending on bright, capable citizens like you to achieve our goals. Use your talents to serve the American public and fund its future. You really can help make our nation a better place.”
Why am I telling you about this?
The IRS already has more than 100,000 full-time and seasonal employees and hires new employees throughout the year, but recently the IRS has been given thousands of additional positions to close the Tax Gap. This means while the economy is suffering the federal government is increasing the number of tax collectors and auditors to collect more money. It also means increased and tougher enforcement of IC misclassification laws.
This is no time for your business to be cutting corners in IC compliance.
