12 - RECRUITMENT PROGRAM.

12.03 - Policy.  Regions, Stations, Area, and National Forests shall:

    1.  Identify, cultivate, and maintain sources of potential candidates
for the full range of disciplines represented in the Forest Service.
Even during times of reduced recruitment activities, units shall maintain
working relationships with recruitment sources.

    2.  Develop strategies and recruitment activities to overcome
underrepresentation as presented in the unit's Federal Equal Opportunity
Recruitment Program (FEORP) plan.  This includes, but is not restricted
to working with schools to increase enrollment of minorities and women,
and help minority schools develop programs for Forest Service
occupations.

12.1 - Coordination of Recruitment Activities.  Field units may expand
recruitment activity to any geographic area that meets their recruitment
objectives.  Organizational boundaries shall not be used to limit
development and maintenance of effective recruitment sources.

When a field unit decides to extend recruitment activity sources into
another Region, the extending unit must coordinate its effort with the
home unit.  Coordination will aim to keep the home unit's working
relationships with its recruitment sources intact.  The home unit may,
but is not required to, recruit for the extending unit.

Each field unit must adhere to the home unit's recruitment schedule and
policies for those sources the home unit has identified for recruitment
activities.

The Summer Student Employment Program for "1890" schools and other
minority schools in the South is a separate program.  Recruitment is
coordinated by the Region 8 Director of Civil Rights through requisitions
from participating units.  (See FSH 6109.14, chapter 5.)
