Applicants from these areas were required to
submit by mail a resume of their work history,
and those who appeared qualified were contacted
by phone or letter. On several occasions, trips
were made by recruiting personnel to Mid-West
cities to interview prospective employees.
The California Department of Employment

granted the use of its facilities in Los Angeles

and San Francisco, where recruiting teams conducted preliminary screening and scheduled processing. Acceptable applicants in the Los Angeles
area were required to report to the Home Office
Personnel Department on a specific date for

necessary processing and medical examination.

In the San Francisco area, recruiting teams

completed all documents, which were forwarded
(as a complete package) to the Home Office
Personnel Department for assignment of clearance and for submission to the Security De-

partment of the PSQ (Personnel Security Questionnaire).

The numberandclassification of personnel
hired in the Honolulu area was controlled by
the Home Office. The Honolulu Office was kept
informed through teletype and memorandums
of all information necessary to coordinate the
recruiting program. During previous Operations, recruiting in the Honolulu area was limit-

ed to laborors, service operations personnel, and
those skilled craftsmen who had been previously
employed as journeymen at the Jobsite. Due to
the tight labor market in the United States,
recruiting in Honolulu was broadened in December 1955 to include the hiring of skilled
craftsmen. This program was continued through
February 1956 with considerable success. The
Territorial Employment Service organizations
on the islands of Hawaii and Maui, as well as
Oahu, contributed considerably to the fulfillment of Jobsite personnel needs.
Upon firm commitment of employment,
processing for transportation overseas was initiated: flight lists were prepared; airline reservations were made; teletypes were sent to
Jobsite and Honolulu covering departure date,
flight number, ETA at Honolulu, names of all
passengers, their job classification, requisition
number, and status as new or rehired em-

ployees. Nineteen copies of Government Travel
Orders for each man, an additional five copies

for each group of men, and three advance copies
for the Honolulu office were prepared. From
1 July 1954 through May 1956, a total of

4,183 Travel Orders was processed covering
single and group personnel movement. The
movement of personnel to and from the Jobsite is shown in Table No. 3-1.
