MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT . Agency Recruitment - Extension of Field Interviewing
Program
REFERENCE . Memo fr D/Pers to ExDir-Compt and DD's dtd 18 Feb 66,
same subject
1. This memorandum is for information and to close out any
further action concerning referenced memorandum.
2. Each of the Deputy Directors responded to referenced
memorandum with a general endorsement of its objectives but noting
particular factors to be considered in its implementation--largely
related to the identification of headquarters participants and their
role. Their responses prompted us to re-evaluate our proposal and
it is now operating, low-key, in accordance with the points raised,
i.e., the "Headquarters official" participation in the applicant
follow-up program is now keyed to scheduling meetings of professionals
with professionals.
3. Our "hot pursuit" program via prompt headquarters corre-
spondence and early follow-up by the substantive component concerned
have pretty much obviated the need for the program described in
reference. It is operating well now on an ad hoc basis and I believe
it may well continue on that basis as one element of our overall
recruitment "technique." As matters now stand, however, I see no
need for further publicity or procedure on this particular aspect of
our overall recruitment effort.
