That makes sense - I wonder who is responsible for / who could improve that. Of course Kenney / our next Mayor who actually gives a shit could and should make that a priority but the mayor is not the one that would actually be implementing it. Surely there's some office of HR or something we should be directing our concerns to. Oh I guess that quote above actually specifies the OHR haha:

I'll check the budget detail and see if they talk about hiring timeline targets, but I doubt it.

Update: yep, OHR has 32 full time employees and, unless I'm missing something, only 2 performance targets listed, related to producing civil service eligible lists, whatever those are. I was hoping to see something like # of positions unfilled and for how long.
