C.B.,

Since you asked, we started with 3-4 recruiters doing exempt hires; 2-3 doing hourly & non-exempt with 2-3 support staff.

We averaged from 150 -200 and as high as 250-300 reqs each at a time.  I would have as high as 500 reqs because I transitioned between hourly, production, engineering, R&D, QA,  IT and managerial, with college sprinkled in.  We often featured employees in our recruitment ads and when I was featured my direct phone number was also added to put a face with a number for immediate contact.

I was promoted 4x in 5 years--when I was promoted to Manager, Employment and University Relations, I had 3 recruiters and 2 support staff--I myself also recruited full-time as a hands-on manager.

We would run full page Recruitment Ads and would do multiple job fairs in the LA market and in all of the major aerospace cities, e.g., Seattle, NY, St. Louis, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Wichita, Tulsa, and the Cape in Florida--sometimes 5-7/month.

On the road, there were times when and where we had a nurse available to do on-the-spot drug testing.  Rockwell was one of the first major companies to do drug testing back in the mid-'80s.
