Obama wants to increase the Gov work force by relaxing hiring process. He wants the required essays (KSAs) dropped and agencies will switch to a new system known as “category hiring” where applicants will be on lists that span across agencies who will have to compete for workers and so act more quickly.
"Agencies must make the changes in the next six months -- lightning fast by Washington standards. Administration officials insist several agencies are ready to quickly make changes."
"Obama issuing memos of all sorts"
"Take a look back at the last few weeks, and it appears the White House is issuing new orders to federal agencies at a feverish pace...Last week he ordered agencies to extend more employment benefits to the partners of gay federal workers. He's also mandated changes to the federal hiring process and there will be more later this week...
Extending benefits to the gay partners of federal workers scores him points with liberals, gay rights activists and a generally supportive American public and helps meet his goal of making government a "cool" employer. Attempts to speed up the mundane federal hiring process also help achieve the "cool" goal and Obama's desire to attract a new wave of public servants."

Yep - and we already know Obama thought the radicals in college were the "cool kids". I've said that what this guy will be doing under the radar will be as bad as what he does in plain view.
From Last Year
Many Hires Needed for Budget Goals
Tens of Thousands Could Be Added to Federal Payroll

President Obama's budget is so ambitious, with vast new spending on health care, energy independence, education and services for veterans, that experts say he probably will need to hire tens of thousands of new federal government workers to realize his goals.
The $3.6 trillion plan released last week proposes spending billions to begin initiatives and implement existing programs, and given Obama's insistence that he would scale back the use of private-sector contractors, his priorities could reverse a generational decline in the size of the government workforce.
Exactly how many new workers would be needed remains unclear -- one independent estimate was 100,000, while the conservative Heritage Foundation said it is likely to be closer to a quarter-million."
