We have had success in utilizing churches for recruiting. A lot of the employees we have gotten heard about us through relatives, friends who went to churches where we were posted. We have even had job fairs after a church service and done on the spot applications and interviews. Some churches won't allow you but others are trying to help the following obtain employment. |

I'm trying something new this year...I've placed a running notice on the back of weekly bulletins of churches in communities where much of our labor force seems to come from (specifically, hispanic or other "third-world" communities). My plan is to get in touch with the pastors of these churches and let them know that I am supporting their church through our advertising, and should they have a parishioner who needs work, either short term or long term, he should contact me.
I can't tell you results yet because I've only just started. A word of concern though...you need to see how this fits into your AA/EOE plan. In my case it does wonderfully, but if you do this only in non-minority communities, I can see where you might be subject to criticism. Frank Callahan |

I second the concern over EEO/AAP problems with recruiting in churches.
Title VII definitely covers discrimination on the basis of religon. Limiting your recruiting efforts to Christianity while excluding Jews, Budhists, Moslems, Hindus and other world religons could attract the wrong kind of attention and possible litigation. Caution is in order. |

While I'm sure it's not your intention, recruiting from churches has historically been one common way of excluding Jews from companies.
So to be redundant, caution is definitely in order. Todd |

I have listed part-time usher and unarmed security positions in church bulletins without much success-that is no responses! We tried five local churches and experimented with different ads and wording at different times of the year without success. |
