475.0. "How to Aid the Recruiting Process..." by CELICA::RAYNA (Rayna Shine...) Fri Feb 26 1988 17:42

     It would be very helpful to Recruiters and Personnel Organizations
if Employees would put their BADGE NUMBER at the top of their resume'.
 
     This way, recruiters could input the BADGE # into TESS (Total
Emmployment Staffing System - used to match applicants with requisitions)
and the name and other related information about employees could
be pulled directly off the EMF (Employee Master File).  There is less
chance for errors this way (as long as your EMF record is up-to-date;
check with your PSA to make sure) and would help to eliminate duplicate
applicants in the TESS database.  When employees send their resumes out
to several recruiters, they are not always entered under the same exact
name.  Thus, TESS views them as different people and this makes it difficult
for TESS to perform the job it was intended to do - match applicants with
requisitions.  

     Thanks for your co-operation on this matter!  Happy Job Hunting!

475.1	Great Idea!	CGHUB::FROMENT		`Mon Feb 29 1988 08:26`	3
	Excellent point - Having run into this problem a least twice in the last week myself, having the badge number on the resume would be extremely helpful.
475.2	Which U.S. states should DEC be recruiting in?	PHAROS::DMCLURE	Your favorite Martian	`Fri Jan 26 1990 11:16`	67
	I'm currently looking for some statistics on colleges, but here are some revealing statistics on percentages of US high school students who go on to actually graduate from high school. Notice how many of the highest ranking states are midwestern states, and also notice where the states in which DEC has major facilities are ranked (source - The Universal Almanac 1990 - resorted by graduation rankings): -davo Enrollment Expenditures Average High School (rank) per pupil teacher graduation (rank) salary(rank) rate (rank) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. 38,881,460 $3,983 $26,551 71.5% Minnesota 693,134 (21) 4,329 (16) 28,340 (11) 91.4 (1) Conneticutt 471,916 (30) 5,552 (5) 28,902 (7) 89.9 (2) North Dakota 118,094 (46) 3,174 (39) 21,284 (46) 89.7 (3) Nebraska 366,604 (37) 3,437 (35) 22,063 (40) 88.1 (4) Iowa 481,346 (29) 3,270 (27) 22,603 (39) 87.5 (5) Montana 153,121 (43) 4,070 (19) 23,206 (34) 87.2 (6) Wisconsin 767,819 (18) 4,607 (11) 27,976 (14) 86.3 (7) Kansas 461,091 (33) 4,150 (17) 23,427 (33) 81.5 (8/9-tie) South Dakota 124,607 (45) 3,190 (38) 18,781 (51) 81.5 (8/9-tie) Wyoming 100,955 (48) 6,253 (2) 28,103 (13) 81.2 (10) Ohio 1,793,500 (5) 3,764 (26) 26,288 (22) 80.4 (11) Utah 415,994 (34) 2,455 (51) 23,035 (36) 80.3 (12) Idaho 211,360 (38) 2,555 (49) 21,480 (44) 79.0 (13) Pennsylvania 1,674,161 (6) 4,691 (9) 27,422 (17) 78.5 (14) Arkansas 437,438 (32) 2,772 (42) 19,904 (49) 78.0 (15) New Jersey 1,107,467 (9) 6,177 (4) 28,718 (9) 77.6 (16/17-tie) Vermont 90,200 (50) 4,459 (13) 21,835 (43) 77.6 (16/17-tie) Massachusetts 841,250 (14) 4,856 (7) 28,410 (10) 76.7 (18) Maryland 675,747 (22) 4,660 (10) 28,893 (8) 76.6 (19) Maine 207,349 (39) 3,650 (29) 21,257 (47) 76.5 (20) Illinois 1,825,185 (4) 3,980 (21) 28,238 (12) 75.8 (21) Missouri 800,606 (16) 3,345 (36) 23,468 (32) 75.6 (22) West Virginia 351,691 (35) 3,619 (30) 21,446 (45) 75.5 (23) Washington 761,771 (19) 3,808 (25) 27,527 (15) 75.2 (24) Oregon 449,300 (31) 4,383 (14) 26,690 (21) 74.1 (25) Virginia 974,754 (12) 3,809 (24) 25,473 (25) 73.9 (26) New Hampshire 163,717 (41) 3,682 (28) 22,011 (42) 73.3 (27) Colorado 558,415 (27) 4,107 (18) 27,387 (18) 73.1 (28) New Mexico 268,765 (36) 3,537 (33) 23,977 (28) 72.3 (29) Indiana 964,761 (13) 3,310 (37) 26,083 (23) 71.4 (30) Oklahoma 603,132 (26) 3,082 (43) 22,060 (41) 71.6 (31) Hawaii 164,336 (40) 4,372 (15) 26,315 (20) 70.8 (32) Delaware 94,410 (49) 4,776 (8) 27,467 (16) 70.7 (33) N.

475.3	No Answer Given	MFGMEM::BENCH		`Fri Jan 26 1990 12:51`	8
	RE: .2 "Which U.S. states should DEC be recruiting in?" The data provides no answer to your question. The graduation rate says nothing about the quality of the education. Claude
475.4	supply info, please	NWD002::EVANS_BR		`Fri Jan 26 1990 14:32`	10
	re: .-1 OK Claude... why don't you provide some better information rather than pointing out that the supplied info was not sufficient. I agree that perhaps high school graduation rate might not correlate to DEC's recruiting pattern (if there is such a thing), but at least the .2 tried to start a correlation going. I agree with the .2 -- where should DEC be recruiting - and more importantly, what caliber are we really looking for??
475.5	The side-effects are probably more important...	CGOO01::DTHOMPSON	Don, of Don's ACT	`Mon Jan 29 1990 12:00`	18
	One of the extrapolations I would make from the table is the cultural value placed on education. In other words, states with higher graduation rates must (may?) have a population which places more value on becoming a learn�d individual. It's also quite interesting to co-relate the degree of urban blight with these figures. As to using this kind of statistic as a recruitment metric, despite the possible correctness of -.2 which suggests the graduation rate is not necessarily an indication of quality, it might be wiser to consider the emphasis on work, success, and other ethical/moral/social aspects which may be inferred from the table rather than the exact quality of education per se. Personally I'd rather spend training time and money on the straightforward task of increasing technical skills and knowledge than try to culturally adjust people.
