[IPAC-List] Professional recruiters for entry-levelFirefighterexam?

[Chris Hornick]

Getting applicants for fire fighter has seldom been a problem in my
experience.  I doubt most departments would need help with general
recruiting, but recruiting for diversity (targeted) has seen significant
writing and research of late.  If that is what you are looking for, I would
recommend that you take a look at the report we wrote that is partially
published on the IAFF (International Association of Fire Fighters) web site.
It was an examination of best practices in diversity recruitment for the
fire service.  It has some good recommendations and it summarizes and
references several sources including an EEOC report (see below) and several
other excellent resources that should be of help.  Appendix 5 of the report
has an extensive bibliography.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. (1997).  Best Equal Employment
Opportunity Policies, Programs, and Practices in the Private Sector.
http://www.eeoc.gov/abouteeoc/task_reports/best_practice.html.  Washington,
DC.

By the way, I agreed with what Lance said about conflict of interest and
ethics regarding training for promotional exams, although I wasn't sure how
it was related to recruiting for fire fighter.  I have been frustrated many
times with similar concerns to his.

Any of the major recruiters will work with this type of mission. Also, if
you work with an advertising group to shape your "brand" and ad strategy,
they would probably sign on for this. This type of recruiting is really
about targeted marketing. There could be a gross screen involved
(e.g.questionnaire re: driving, record and drug use.)

Have you heard of hiring professional recruiters to assist in recruiting
applicants to take an entry-level exam for the job of Firefighter?

Where might I find such a person or group?

Thanks.
