The Department of Personnel is responsible for pairing up agents and placing recruits in the proper departments and divisions. If an agent cannot overcome the compulsion to drool over pictures of Achilles, it would be a hazard to send him or her into Greek Mythology. If an agent's partner has tried multiple times to set him or her on fire, the department will... eventually... maybe... partner those agents with someone else.
Personnel also deals with agent training and maintaining the PPC's archives, and some Personnel agents act in secretarial roles for various Department Heads. Its head Flower is the Marquis de Sod, and the secretary in charge of personnel is Agent Quen.
The Department of Personnel was first mentioned in the seventh mission in the Original Series, "Children of the Earth," and first visited in the eighth, "Why am I Here?"
