Module 2 – SLP
FEDERAL CONTRACT COMPLIANCE ISSUES
Recruitment of Females and Veterans of the U.S. Military
Before you begin this assignment, be sure to review the
Module 2 Background readings.
You are a newly hired HR staffing specialist for
MEGATRANSPORT, a private-sector employer in the business of making large,
transport equipment mainly for the U.S. government. Your supervisor has asked
you to write a 2 to 3 page news release on best practices in the recruitment of
females. He also would like you to discuss the recruitment of military
veterans. Tailor your discussion as much as possible to recruiting these
targeted applicants to the large transport equipment industry.
Draw on your own research to identify (by name) real-life,
private-sector employers who have used some of the recruitment techniques that
you propose. Discuss their real-life experiences as examples in your news
release.
Use at least 2 Trident Online Library sources plus any
applicable background readings to help strengthen your discussion.
Upload your assignment by the module due date. Add a title
page and reference page to your news release when you submit your paper.
