12. Factors That Attract Top Talent Source: E. G. Chambers, H. Hanafield-Jones, S. M. Hankin, and E. G. Michaels, III, “Win the War for Top Talent,” Workforce 77, no. 12 (December 1998): 50–56. Used with permission of McKinsey & Co.

13. Choosing A Message Messages can be tailored for individual groups:  Amount of contingent pay  Team vs. individual work and appraisals  Promotion opportunities  “Promotes from within” top consideration for MBA’s  Retailing jobs – Wal Mart, Home Depot, Target  Details about the company  “Fun place to work”  Environmentally friendly  “Affirmative Action Employer”

14. Choosing A Message Messages should be both attractive and accurate:  Beware of the specificity and accuracy of information  “Unlimited growth potential”  Amount of travel required  Nature of the work  Salary included? Benefits described?  Selling the job vs. Realistic job preview  Self-selection  Higher commitment and less turnover

15. “An Army of One” The new slogan drew sharp criticism from some veterans and analysts who said it emphasized individualism over collective action. "I keep telling the old guys like me who are a little concerned about the nontraditional message that we're not recruiting you. Go ask your grandson or granddaughter what turns them on, and that's where you're going to find the Army.” Army Recruiter Teens surveyed said they didn't feel that the Army was "made up of people." They thought joining the Army meant disappearing as a small cog in a large machine.

16. Realistic Job Preview Is the Army Stretched Too Thin? Time Aug. 24, 2003 “Peacekeeping is not what the U.S. troops were trained to do. Soldiers whose combat edge has been honed inside an M-1 tank are not well equipped to provide a war's victims with food and water.” "The worst thing you can do, in terms of retention, is to have square pegs stuck in round holes," says David Chu, the Pentagon's personnel chief. "The guy or gal who doesn't get to do what he or she signed up to do is the most dissatisfied soldier."
