Sec.46a-68-80. External communication and Recruitment Strategies

(a) Each agency shall develop means of recruiting goal candidates for current positions.

(b) Each agency shall put itself on public record as an affirmative action and equal employment opportunity employer. Consistent with that posture:

(1) written expression of the agency's commitment to affirmative action and equal employment opportunity and notice of job availability shall be sent regularly to recruiting sources and organizations which are capable of referring qualified applicants for employment; and

(2) notice that the agency is an affirmative action and equal employment opportunity employer shall be sent to all unions that represent agency employees for collective bargaining purposes. Such notice shall contain an invitation to review and comment upon the agency's affirmative action plan.

(c) Each agency shall initiate and undertake vigorous, positive relationship-building activity to ensure that affirmative action is more than a paper commitment. Each agency shall work to secure ongoing relationships and develop additional recruiting sources while cultivating outreach recruitment programs and maintaining contact with protected class members and resource agencies.
