Executive Recruiting and Management Information in the White House

摘要

Let's time-travel. Executive recruiting for the U.S. Government has always been a big issue. In today's hyper-political environment, it's also a "hot" issue, so it seemed interesting and relevant to reprint an article on the subject from SAM's early days. While much has changed in 47 years, much remains nearly the same. True, the federal government's spending and duties have expanded greatly, but the number of executive branch employees does not exceed the three million level cited in this 1970 article. Filling these positions is front-and-center in today's political news. We invite you to review the issues laid out in 1970: Are they relevant? Would the authors'suggestions work? What would you advise for the 21st century?
