2020 Spring HR Insider Newsletter

Recruitment Since the pandemic outbreak and social distancing measures have taken hold of the nation, many employers are pulling back on their recruitment efforts and advertising campaigns as nearly every aspect - from interviewing to onboarding - has changed. Not the EAA! Last year, Human Resources implemented NEOGOV an applicant tracking system that requires all individuals to apply electronically and complete their onboarding process online. This applicant tracking system takes recruit- ment efforts for the EAA to the next level and allows recruiting and advertising campaigns to remain in full swing.

RECRUITMENT EVENTS

Maggie Veliz had an opportunity to participate in UTSA’s Career Action Program (CAP). CAP is held at UTSA in both the fall and spring semesters and allows employers who are hiring for multiple internships or job openings have an opportunity to serve as mentors/coachs in the program. Ma- ggie worked with UTSA students on conducting an elevator speech and discussed how to create a proper LinkedIn profile. On February 25th, the EAA hosted 25 STEM students from Wagner High School as part of the San Antonio Works Job Shadow Day. EAAwas one of more than 120 employers con - necting with San Antonio youth for the day. 12 EAA emplo - yees participated in this event cultivating an appreiation and awareness for the different career paths at the EAA. Maggie has also been teaming up with Trinity University to participate in live virtual sessions with students in an effort to engage and attact new talent.
