For example, during the six-month period between May and
October, 1953, 29,385 persons were screened and checked at the CSES
office as a result of intensive advertising.
Of this number, ap-
proximately 75% were eliminated as being unqualified,
9,181 were
interviewed in the Contractor's offices and 4,638 were accepted for
employment. Of this 4,638, 2,064 were actually hired. The difference had, in the interim between acceptance for hire and receipt of
final security clearance, found employment elsewhere, changed their
plans due to personal reasons, or were eliminated for security reasons.
During this peak period, in order to cover a broader area in
the recruiting program, it was necessary to station employment interviewers at San Francisco, San Diego, and Fresno, Californiato
work with the California State Employment Offices in those cities.
During this same period, H&N's Honolulu Office expanded their recruiting program to include interviewing at other islands, mainly
Hawaii and Maui, in coordination with the Territorial Employment
Service.
As a result of this intensified recruiting program, the
job was staffed essentially as planned in the original program and
no serious shortages of men developed.
