3.3 - Blog: Recruitment and Marketing

Discuss what makes your organization (or one that you worked for) an incredible or not-so-incredible place to work?


The U.S. Navy presents an outstanding opportunity, aligning with a commitment to excellence, the development of leadership skills, and career preparation. The Navy promotes a Culture of Excellence that motivates individuals to reach their highest potential. When collaborating with reliable shipmates, a sense of community emerges that appeals to prospective candidates.

In preparation for its future leaders, the organization provides structured education, on-the-job training, and independent learning, all of which closely align with the Navy's Core Values. Upon enlisting and up to the E-4 rank, the Enlisted Leader Development Course is introduced providing basic naval practices alongside leadership and ethical decision-making for Sailors up to the E-4 rank. As the Sailor progresses to E-5, the Intermediate Leader Development Course concentrates on aligning personal intrinsic values with leadership challenges. At E-6, the Advanced Leader Development Course is designed to further develop responsibilities, and the Chief Petty Officer Leader Development Course at E-7 merges leadership principles with command climate initiatives.


How would you showcase your organization to candidates and employees?


To showcase the Navy to candidates and employees, I would highlight the culture of excellence and teamwork with the power of social media. Commanding officers and Sailors can post about daily life aboard ships, training exercises, and team traditions for a peek into Navy life. When declassified, successful missions, operational teamwork, and personal stories can be posted to reinforce the Navy's traditions.


If you were the CEO, reflect on what you would like your employer brand to look like?


The employer brand would appear innovative, agile, and authentic, genuinely reflecting the Navy's core values of trust, respect, and teamwork. As the CEO, it would be my responsibility to position the Navy as a forward-thinking organization, one that embraces a culture of continuous learning. The approach would align with offering transparent and equitable career development opportunities.

For this blog, I found an HR Manager job posting on LinkedIn and Indeed that was based in New York. One job posting (LinkedIn) was for an HR Manager role with Aspen Dental, and the other was with  What appealed to you about the job board you selected?  Take note of your experience while on the board. Was it easy to use? Overwhelming? Reflect on how you felt, the content, and the look and feel of the board. Note things that you deem favorable and less favorable. LinkedIn The Positive LinkedIn has a simple interface similar to that of other job boards, such as Monster and Indeed. I can efficiently utilize standard filters to search by experience level, location, company, job type, and industries. The most significant advantage is that the platform is a professional social media, and various employers and talent acquisition companies are active on the website. You're empowered to reach out within the company network when actively applying for a role. The Negative I don't like tha...

Module 1.4: The Future of HR

Most Important Criterion: The business and HR focus on individuals. Why? Personally, this resonates with me because job searching intensifies as I approach graduation. In every webinar, sit-down, or interview with business leaders I’ve attended, the topic of employee talent always comes up. This is an important piece because I feel it opens the door to potential life-changing careers from an entry-level aspect. Many job listings are written up in a way that can be discouraging to applicants because of the complexity of the required/preferred job qualifications. There’s still a blurred line between entry-level and experienced job roles. Transparency between HR and business leaders should be reflected upon so on a company vacancy listing. The inability to differentiate business expectations can give a negative perception from outside potential employees and community stakeholders. Least Important Criterion: Choosing the correct HR department. Why? This should be an easy choice that requi...
