? Employment of Women at Grades GS-11 and Above
1. The employment of women at grades GS-11 and above is a very
key element in our overall female recruitment effort. I am aware that
the Agency, by the nature of the requirements of many of its disciplines,
does not hire large numbers of employees in the higher grades, that the
pool of female candidates in the scientific and engineering fields is
limited, and that competition is intense. Nevertheless, I believe we
should make a more aggressive effort to improve our position in this
regard.
2. I ask, therefore, that yoU review your external requirements
involving middle- and upper-level positions. Then discuss with your
people any special sources and contacts that may be tapped to provide
female applicants to fill them. Forward this information to the Director
of Personnel, who will immediately send it to our recruiters.
3. It is my hope that we can substantially increase the number of
our female employees in senior- and middle-level positions ,as rapidly as.
possible. Recruiting a_p2rtion of. them_directly_fronuthe_outside is .
essential, I dSR that each of you give this effort special ailEtBiff.
