Pompeo said the State Department employees, in the past few weeks, expressed to him their hope to be empowered in their roles and have a clear understanding of the president's mission.
"That'll be my first priority," he said. "They've shared how demoralizing it is to have so many vacancies. And frankly, many of them said, not to feel relevant. I'll do my part to end those vacancies."
"We don't yet have an ambassador to South Korea. We need one," he said. "With respect each of those positions, I am a talent hawk. I will find what I believe to be the best fit to execute America's diplomatic mission around the world."
According to Samantha Power, former U.S. permanent representative to the UN, attracting the right personnel will require Pompeo to work with the Congress and take other steps to change obsolete rules.
"For instance, discourage former State Department employees from returning, and require even experienced people to start at the bottom if they have not previously worked in government," she wrote in an article for the New York Times.
