Federal approval for salary increases, flexible benefits to attract AI skills


The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director, Kiran A. Ahuja, has underscored the wide range of incentives federal agencies possess to attract and retain artificial intelligence (AI) talent. In a memo from February 27, Ahuja outlined several strategies to bolster the recruitment and retention of AI professionals. Agencies have the leeway to offer significant financial incentives, including a recruitment bonus of up to 25% of the basic pay multiplied by the service agreement years (capped at four years) for roles in AI and other critical tech positions that are hard to fill. Moreover, to aid in recruitment or retention, agencies can cover federally insured student loans for candidates or employees up to $10,000 per year, with a $60,000 cap in total repayments.

In a landscape where AI expertise is highly sought after, with employers reportedly ready to increase pay by 35-43% for such talent, the OPM’s memo responds to an executive order from October 30 that calls for dedicated individuals to leverage AI in enhancing government services, policy-making, and research and development. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address the competitive demand for skilled AI personnel in the federal sector.
