The relationship between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump may break out publicly this week, but the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is currently recruiting for a rave.

According to two conditions that protect their privacy with anonymity, Doge appears to be contacting technicians who have previously worked in the government, even as part of a government campaign to drastically narrow the federal workforce. One candidate was told that even though they recently left the government under the Delay Resignation Program (DRP), they may still be eligible for a position in Doge.

Another recruit told Wired that Doge hopes to hire technicians for development, operations, software and products for two years.

Potential recruits were told that the salary range is still at the top of the government's compensation scale, ranging from $120,000 to $195,000 a year, sources said. Like previously reported wired coverage, applicants are still going through a multi-step process, which includes screening calls, technical evaluations for take home and two follow-up interviews.

DOGE applicants must complete a take-home project where they create a tool to analyze federal regulations for federal regulations (ECFR). For permanent USDS applicants, they are asked to submit their code to a private file sharing platform called "Kite Work". Applicants are required to publicly upload their code to GitHub.

A successful applicant may end up working on programs like “Using AI to Improve Veterans’ Health Services,” “simplifying federal aid applications for Americans experiencing natural disasters” and “improving free applications for federal student aid (FAFSA)” through an email from the candidate via cable. (Cable previously spoke with the Governor applicant who reported similar information.)

The executive order Trump signed the signing of the creation of Doge, putting the group in what was previously known as the American Digital Services, a small Obama-era tech talent organization where workers served two to three years in administration and then returned to the private sector. The executive order was renamed to the Doge Service in the United States and established a "temporary Doge organization." Sources told Wired that both bodies are currently hiring.

A source told Wired that road services and roads in the United States are “basically the same thing.”

Since Trump took office, USDS’s original small team of technicians has become the statistical basis for the digital coup led by Musk, with USDS losing the vast majority of its employees and constantly striving to bring new talent.

Meanwhile, many of the original Doge Strikeforce members include young, inexperienced engineers who access some of the most sensitive data in government agencies, now transitioning to full-time government employees within federal agencies. Last week, Luke Farritor and Edward Coristine met Big Ball on the Internet, after working for a telecom company known for hiring former Blackhat Hackers and full-time at the General Services Administration (GSA).

Sources also told Wired that former Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd, who is also one of the leading education branches leading the group's operations at GSA, is considering improving the Presidential Innovation Guy program, which brings technicians into the government and its governments in different institutions to improve government services. The program cannot attract new talent this year due to a government-wide recruitment freeze. SHEDD is the Director of GSA Technology and Transformation Services (TTS), which provides technical expertise to organizations in various governments.

"Thomas Shedd and his boss have caused problems by breaking down and getting rid of all the technical talent, and now they have these projects, they want to sue to implement new capabilities, which requires technical talent."
