MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT: Office of Personnel Report
(Week Ending 28 December 1979)
1. Hiring Engineers: From the somebody's bad-news-is-
our-good-news department the latest issue of "Recruiting
Trends" report: "The new engineering class is up 140 over last
year so that recruiters will find more people for the near
term. Enrollment has been rising so that each year more.
engineers have been coming out of the pipeline, however, a
gathering of forces is likely to upset the situation between
1980 and 1982. Continued inflation leading to hiring cutbacks
will probably reduce the demand for engineering students so
that graduating classes will not be able to move en bloc into
the job market. A result of new grads not being able to find
engineering jobs easily, according to Scientific Manpower
Commission Director Betty Vetter, is news stories about graduate
engineers driving cabs. This will turn students off from the
field again as has happened in the past and enrollments will
go down. Ms. Vetter notes that the ups and downs of the
supply of new engineers are greater than for other fields
because it is necessary to start the engineering program as
a freshman to be able to get through the demanding curriculum.
(A. few. transfer during college years into engineering, but
the number who do so is negligible.) Consequently, it is possible
to foresee the likely number of entrants a few years ahead." (U)

3. Trial Period Employees: The program to strengthen
the screening of trial perio employees was formally initiated
with the mailing of machine lists of these individuals to the
five Career Services. Each Career Service will receive such
lists on a monthly basis covering employees who will be reaching
'the:end of their trial period eight months later._(U/AIUO)
4. Annual Leave - Senior Intelligence Service (SIS):
Chief, SIS was in med by the Deputy Director of Finance that
the lifting of annual leave accrual maximum balances will be
reflected on SIS members' pay slips beginning with the first
leave period of 1980. (U/AIUO)
5. Discount Coupons: The final count on the General
Services Administration GSA) obtained airline discount coupons
shows that of a total of 150 coupons received, we used 91 for
the travel of Agency employees. The remainder were returned
to the Office.of Finance. The fact that not more of the GSA
coupons were used is attributed to coupons supplied by many of
the Divisions during the latter part of November and early
December and also the beginning of the pre-holiday drop off
in travel during this period. (U/AIUO)
6. Combined Federal Campaign: As of COB 18 December
1979, the CFC pledges totaled $285,232.24, which is 95.1% of our
goal. $36,157 has been pledged for the Educational Aid Fund
and $6,888.25 has been pledged for the Public Service Aid
Society. 81 pledge cards are still outstanding. (U/AIUO)

AN UPDATE OF RECRUITMENT ACTIVITIES
Minority professional d technical recruitment also was
on the upswing in FY 1979. #The number of professional and
technical minority recruitments (black and Hispanic) increased
18% over last year, 52 vis a vis 40. Although the number of
black professions and technical applicants decreased by 4%
last year, there was an increase of 8% in the number who entered
on duty, 28 vis a vis 24; 82 were placed in process for employ-
ment in FY 1979 vis a vis 63 placed in process during FY 1978.
The Division recommended 153 Hispanic professionals and tech-
nicians for employment in FY 1979, one less than in FY 1978.
Of these, 46 were placed in process and 24 entered on duty.
This represented an increase of 33% in the number of Hispanics
who entered on duty in FY 1979 compared to FY 1978. As in
1978, the Agency continued to advertise to stimulate applica-
tions from minority candidates, and continued to participate
in career days on college campuses and at job fairs in major
cities. In addition, two full-time minority recruiters joined
Recruitment Division to increase the number of applications
from minorities.
,''he Agency achieved a 21% increase in the number of
female professional and technical employees hired in FY 1979
as compared to FY 1978. There were 109 female professionals
and technicians who en Bred on duty in FY 1979 compared to
90 in FY 1978. To enter this number on duty, the Division
generated 712 applicant files, 302 of which were placed in
process. Women represented 21% of the total professional
and technical hires.
FY 1979 also saw an intensive campaign to recruit Career
Trainees for the Operations Directorate. The Division, with
25X1A the assistance of the E__ L
devised a DDO/CT ad which has been most successful. The year
also saw a continuing demand for engineers and physical scientists..
A new ad targeted to engineers and physical scientists was
devised and is drawing well. The Division continued to give
priority attention to clerical and secretarial recruitment.
