he was a recruiter. he was not talking about any of the things as i, as someone who would never served, -- things i thought he would talk about. how the army could help you be all you could be. help you be a skilled warrior. that was sort of the image from the 1990's. instead he said you'll get childcare for your child, the army will get you out of credit card debt and teacher to money, and you will have health care. and as someone who had been trained to study the history of social welfare programs in my first book on the history of civilian social welfare programs, my ears perked up and i thought, is the military some kind of social welfare institution? i had no idea. i ran into a bank and wrote it on the back of a slip. connecticut from there. bill: we're here at the american historical situation. your talk today, the panel discussion was military history in the modern economy. what did you cover? jennifer: we called it a state of the field discussion. it was a collection of historians, some of whom w

massivet has been a platform for recruiters and sourcing talent. again, i think it is interesting to look at the data available on those websites and the decisions that are being made because of it. if you look at university college admissions, the way that applications are structured in and thetal dashboard -- digital dashboards that selection committees used to rank candidates are very important in shaping who gets in and who does not. similar to linkedin. it is the most dominant professional network available, and a lot of recruiters use it to find new talent. i have not done a lot of work specifically focusing on that. i think it is probably very influential and important these days. mentioned big data algorithms have the power to sort people into piles of worthy and not worthy. how regulated are the groups who collect and source the data? guest: right now, not very regulated at all. the precedent for this kind of work comes from the fair credit reporting act in trying to regulate credit reporting agencies. but that is a very specific type of c

we recruit marines 30,000 a year. assure that that parent, mother or father, that the chain of command in the marine corps, the leadership, we are going to do everything we can. sen. graham: would you tell those parents send my daughter to the marines given what we know today? sgt. maj. green: yes, sir, i can assure them myself, the commandant, and the leadership will pay the way that is respectful. sen. graham: what would you say to that young woman, general, thinking about joining the marines? i can understand why they would have some questions. sen. graham: don't you think this is step all over recruiting of young women? are neller: senator, we talking to our recruiting folks because the irony of all this is we are trying to increase the number of women in the marine corps. certainly i would say it is not helpful. sen. graham: i would say it is devastatingly bad. would you agree with me that this is one of the darkest chapters in the history of the , even though it may be 500 people involved? gen. neller: we have n

first, the methods by which we recruit, and we train citizens into marines. the transformation is not perfect in all situations. can lose their way. they can fail to comprehend our ethos. at every point of leadership, we need to do a better job of sustaining this leadership. we must attack any behavior that has a corrosive effect on good order and discipline of our marine corps. i came into the marine corps with the problems of the 70's shortly after vietnam -- drug use and race relations were tearing us apart. some of you were there then and river this. the commandant at the time took a firm stance to get our marine corps back to true north. he improved our government standards and made it his personal mission to address those who cannot or would not rise up to our standards. i believe we faced a similar situation today. the vast majority of marines passed in present are good and esent marines past and pr are good, decent people. i am calling on all marines to stand against this destructive conduct. to stand in support every marine to demonstrate to the amer

it's about getting recruits to connect and relate in another way. video of the recruits as they boarded buss to the holocaust memorial museum. a total of 69 are making the trip. they've been doing this every year since 2008, but this year there's a bit of added significance with what's going on around the country and here at home. we're talking about threats to jewish community centers and the vandalism of more than 100 graves at a jewish cemetery. i'm told the vandalism at mount caramel cemetery came up in ethics classes the recruits are taking. recruits are seeing the connection here as why this visit to the museum is important and impactful in the work they signed up to do. >> i think large part of it is just the way policing is going to be a factor in a way we can fight racial profiling and all the ethnic disparities we have in the community. >> especially in philadelphia. it's a melting pot. large diversity. it's important everyone shows the same -- feels the same safety anyone else should. >> times on the ride back it's a very quiet ride back.

what's tougher right now, recruitment, initial recruitment, or retention? what do we have the most trouble with down the line? >> sir, fortunately neither is a problem. >> navy overall recruiting is good. we just made our 120th consecutive month of meeting our recruiting mission. we're seeing the beginnings of fraying at the edges. overall retention is good, although we're seeing individual specific areas such as aviation officers, nuclear rates, special operations forces, and information warfare, you know, cryp cryptological rates, we're having individual retention challenges there. we're able to manage those with the authorities we have right now. >> we have no issue recruiting talented people to be aviators. our sole issue is retention. we're not retaining enough to sustain the force. >> we are not facing challenges with recruiting either. however, that recruiting pool is artificially restrained because of our throughput challenges due to tough fiscal decisions. we are seeing leading indicators of impending retention challenges based on the retirement el

they operate and recruit.mes, the mole inside the cia was run by a ministry of foreign affairs official in washington, d.c. we shouldn't be confused about that. what we should be confused about is why the contacts were not reported in writing with potential foreign intelligence services like the kgb. they are not our friends. this is just getting out of control very quick. we do need a special prosecutor, the senate intelligence committee or the house cannot handle this, it is too hot. i agree, sessions deputy shouldn't be handling there, either. >> david, when jeff sessions took a few questions today, to his credit, from the press, he knew they were going to be hostile. one question is, what do you think, at the time, and what did you think the motives were for wanting this meeting? he said i didn't think about it. do you think that's possible, he didn't think about it? he was a top surrogate for the trump campaign and he didn't think about why the russian ambassador wanted a meeting? >> well, let me say, the

and whilst they are trying to recruit them, but more are trying to recruit them, but more are leavingturely made redundant in 2010, a quarter of them, recruit them back and they can at least... and at the same time, you need real investment. unless the government invests in terms of personnel, in terms of holding better prisons, and also we have a system of rehabilitation, education, supporting officers —— prisoners when they come out, and unique the manpower, the pastoral care, people are not being searched only because they don't have the resources to search every single person. mobile phones are coming in. all these things are very resource intensive than the government really is not doing enough, quickly enough, to address these issues. the headlines on bbc news: a plea for help from the un, which says the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945, guys as millions of people face famine in parts of africa and the middle east. reports from syria say at least 40 people have been killed , and dozens injured , following two explosions in the capital damascus. a fire has c

david: let's talk about recruiting.rk harder and recruiting now than i have ever worked because you have to do it more often, and to recruit the top players -- you don't know if they will be one and done, but they will go early. the really good ones will go early, so that means you have to do it over and over, and it is not so much what you do at their home. before you get to their home, it's what you do on social media, the texting, how you communicate the relationship building. relationship building is so much different now than it was then, and that whole landscape has changed dramatically where many nights you go home and you are texting 17-year-olds. david: let me ask you about the overall program you have built. now you have a situation where -- but as aidered result of that because you are so successful, a lot of people root against you. do take it personally? take any ofnever that personally. it is useless to do that. you can't run your life based on that. i think though those people respect you, and they respec

large companies officially start recruitment on the same day, march 1st. this is based on guidelines from japan's largest business federation. firms are holding meetings to explain their business activities and hiring processes. interviews are scheduled to get under way in june. recruitment agencies say a growing number of students are interested in what kind of workplace environments are on offer. many businesses are expected to boast having flexible work environments, stressing child care benefits and systems that prevent long working hours. >>> long term interest rates have been on the rise since president trump won the u.s. election last fall. that's making it hard for japan to hold its long term yield. the bank of japan has normally kept market participants in the dark until the day it went ahead with its purchases of government bonds. that practice occasionally led to surges in long term rates. that's because market players unloaded their bonds in anticipation of the boj's move. officials are now saying they will announce their monthly purchase sched
