ABSTRACT
The Pacific Electronics Corporation maintains extensive machinery for the recruitment of scientists and engineers. Since the manpower need for engineers and scientists is ever present in its many engineering units in addition to the research laboratory, P. E. C. advertises continuously in newspapers and magazines, and over television from time to time. In this way scientists and engineers, both as members of the general public and as members of a specialized occupational group, come to be familiar with P. E. C.'s needs. In addition, the laboratory pursues its own specialized advertising campaign for recruits. The personnel office centers the recruiting activities of scientists for the laboratory in a staff member who specializes in Ph.D. recruiting. The best university graduates go to the universities rather than come to the industrial research laboratories. The function of assigned and trial research is to help the recruit adapt to the industrial laboratory.
