SUBJECT: Loss of Experienced Employees
REFERENCE: Memo from Division of Personnel to Chief, PP Staff,
28 January 1958, Same Subject
1. In reply to the referenced memorandum, the Psychological
and Paramilitary Staff has lost 3 Staff Employees and 2 Staff Agents
to private industry during the past year.
2. Two Staff Employees resigned from senior level (GS-15) posi-
tions to enter private industry from contacts developed while with
the Agency but have made their services available for consultation
in their present overseas location. The other employee resigned to
enter a local public relations firm.
3. The loss of the specialized skills of the Staff Agents, which
were utilized on PP projects, does not represent a significant loss to
the Agency in terms of long range career assets.
/+. The extent to which retention of a capable staff is threatened
by outside sources appears to be an impossible, or at best a difficult,
thing to forecast. Employees anticipating outside employment rarely
divulge their intentions until an offer appears to be a foregone con-
clusion, and, in most of the cases cited, the employees themselves were
instrumental in seeking, for reasons of their own, what seemed more
attractive opportunities. There is no evidence or knowledge of a system-
atic external recruitment effort.
