Government to
'Recruit' Aides
US Bureaus Adopt Army's
Method, Going After
Good Prospects
. By BETH CAMPBELL
WASHINGTON, Not. 20.
The civilian branches of the gov
ernment has Joined the army and
nary in actlre recruiting for itt
help.,-. '
Civil service commissioners have
'started going after expert appli
cants for top flight scientific and
professional Jobs instead of wait
lag for them to read obscure not
lees on postoffice bulletin boards.
w It seems that there's plenty of
material to select from In clerical
Jobs more than 50,000 persons
took the last stenographer-typist
examination but only three con
testants appeared recently when a
technical position paying between
- J5000 and 110,000 a year was at
stake. ". ; '
"We can't certify a n y better
people t his apply," Samuel H.
Ordway, jr.; a youthful, six-foot"
commissioner, explained. '
"The old method offending out
formal notices has - become; so
routine that we haven't been get
ting first class people -at least
not the type of expert employed in
private industry's well-paid jobs."
"We weren't getting the - best
' arallable material for tbe higher
position," agreed Harry B. Mitch
ell, the commission president.
"We're going to make a more di
rect appeal." !! 4
To Sell" Federal Careers
Instead of urging the bright
young men and women who come
out of the nation's colleges to join
the navy and- see JtheJ world, the
civil service will tty to sell them
on the advantages of a government
Job under the merit system. Th
same principal will be used for
older men and women, Experienc
ed in professional and scientific
lines.
Commissioners say, however,
that first they will have to fiud
these qualified job hunters. Pri
vate industry often gobbles then
up before they even hear about
the specialized examinations which
pave their way into gOTernment
service. v. .
The new recruiting procedure
. operates like this:
An examination by which ap
plicants can qualify for purchas
ing agent positions which open up
In the departments was scheduled.
Commissioners sent' the regular
notices to postoffices and libraries.
Then tjiey wrote personal let
ters to the national associations of
purchasing agents and cost ac
countants, the United States cham
ber of commerce, the nation!
committee on governmental pur
chasing and other organizations.'
They asked these agencies to
look over the list of both employ-
ed and unemployed persons whom
they knew were qualified and ad
vise them of the opportunity. Will
you help the government get out
standing people for Us "jobs? the
commissioners asked.
' 1 Letters Sent out
Similar letters have been sent
to schools for social workers, tbe
American Sociology society and
social science department heads in
. universities as groundwork for a
social service analyst examination
scheduled soon. J
Ordway, civil service commis
sioner, for New York City before
coming here two months ago, be
lieves the civic organization, sci-
. entitle societies and business
' groups will respond, i
"With government expanding,"
he said, "the personnel problem Is
the most important side of effi
cient operation."
' Spreading news of opportunities
to qualified persons is . only the
, first step. Commissioners realize
- that In competing for personnel on
a par with that in private indus
try jthey must sell trained individ
uals on tbe advantages of govrn-
. ment service. ?
"Opportunities for advancement
by merit in government Jobs have
Increased," Ordway said. "Salaries
have increased.' The' necessity of
trained personnel has been recog-
; nlzed and employing agencies are
seeking out education, training
. adaptibility." - .
Other inducements were listed
by W. W. Stockberges. director
personnel for the agriculture de
partment which e m p i oy s Inore
. scientific people " than' any other
' agency except the bureau of stand
ards. The scientist, he said, finds
less bustle and pressure in; the
government than in the Industrial
world, and Washington provides
mora contacts with persons work
ing in similar fields than da other
cities. , . -
