The Placement Office assists senators and Senate committees with filling staff vacancies by providing resumes of qualified candidates to offices. The placement office is nonpartisan and funded by the U.S. Senate.

The Placement Office publishes a weekly Senate Employment Bulletin as a resource for Senate offices wishing to advertise staff vacancies. Each Senate office is an independent employer and responsible for candidate screening, interviewing and selection, as well as job requirements, compensation, and conditions of employment. The Placement Office does not possess hiring authority, nor does it control salaries or job requirements.

The United States Senate is an equal opportunity employer.
