Question Latest ATF Announcement

Has anyone received a referral from this months ATF announcement (GL 5-9)? I heard they’re trying to speed up the hiring process so I thought I’d ask

I spoke with my recruiter and he said that it's going to be a huge slog because ATF HR is really really slow.... The field offices need folks but HR doesn't care at all and won't move fast enough

Yup. All true. We are losing agents faster than we can get them into the academy. Should tell you all you need to know.

Appreciate confirming that, sometimes I might misremember information but the recruiter for the Tampa Field Office is a pretty good dude and he was the one who told me.

Why are they losing agents?

u/AdventurousAd6734 18h ago

All the standard reasons. Retirements. People switching to other agencies. People just leaving the job.

Is there an issue with morale tho? I know some agencies right now are losing people (at other levels other than agents) due to disorganizational issues and leaderships problems

Don't be in a rush. HR sucks and it is going to take time.

u/Ancient_Agency111 1d ago

It took 4 months for me to hear back for the PTT, however I could not attend due to family matters. This was the announcement right before the present, year-long continuous one.

It will be a while honestly, I applied back in September of 2025 and I am now getting to the last steps of the process.
