President Donald Trump's longtime adviser and former golf caddie Dan Scavino will take over hiring at the White House.
Scavino, now the president's deputy chief of staff, will succeed the Soviet-born Sergio Gor as director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, reported Axios.
"Dan Scavino is one of President Trump's most trusted and longest serving advisers," said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. "There is nobody better to ensure the the President's administration is staffed with the most qualified, competent, and America First-driven workers."
"There is much still to be done and Dan's leadership will ensure the highest quality, most dedicated workforce ever," Leavitt added.
Scavino was 16 years old when met Trump, then a celebrity real estate developer, during a golf outing in 1990, and he eventually moved into his inner circle and promoted to general manager of Trump National Golf Club in New York, and he has been at the president's side since he first entered politics a decade ago.
A source familiar with the hiring told Axios that Scavino will "scrutinize the current staff and personnel changes that happen as the office transitions to a new leadership and structure."
Trump tapped Gor, a former staffer to Republican lawmakers Steve King of Iowa, Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Rand Paul of Kentucky, as ambassador to India after he confirmed he had been born in Uzbekistan in 1986, when it was part of the Soviet Union.
