The Office of Mayor-elect Karen Bass has launched an online hiring portal for people interested in serving in the new administration. The portal allows candidates around the country to apply to ensure the best possible applicant pool is available to fill positions.

“If you have the skills, determination, experience and commitment our city needs to house people immediately and increase safety and opportunity in every neighborhood, then we need you,” Bass said in a statement on the hiring portal. The portal is for appointments in the Office of the Mayor and on city commissions only. Bass will be sworn in on Dec. 11 at Los Angeles City Hall and assume office on Dec. 12.
