ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --
The Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex is seeking to hire and retain a highly skilled workforce to maintain and repair critical aircraft within the Department of War.
To achieve this, the Human Resources Management Branch of the Business Office is focused on recruiting, hiring, developing and retaining a force of more than 6,000 personnel at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia.
The branch is comprised of three sections, each with a unique mission.
The Management Human Resource Support Section handles a variety of human resource-centric programs and management support activities.
The Personnel Support Section executes requests for personnel action activities to support a wide variety of personnel hiring, reassignments, resignations and retirements.
The Talent Acquisition Section is responsible for executing strategic outreach and recruitment initiatives to fill approximately 500-700 external requirements for the complex annually. Additionally, this team is responsible for establishing and sustaining community partnerships with routine engagements with middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities. They market the WR-ALC brand, manage hiring events and travel to other military installations to find separating active-duty candidates.
“These community engagements and partnerships are tailored to meet the specific needs of the WR-ALC and include programs such as internships, co-op programs and job fairs,” Melissa Rivera, Human Resources Management Chief, said.
Rivera said valuable lessons were learned from past hiring experiences, such as the "1,200 in 12" initiative in 2018, which required hiring 1,200 people in 12 months.
“Since that time, the team has implemented changes to its hiring process, including the use of skill-specific hiring events and an unbiased, systematic selection process to identify potential candidates who have applied via the WR-ALC website and whose resumes are maintained in the resume repository,” she said. “These changes have ensured that the hiring process is fair and transparent.”
The WR-ALC uses a skills analysis process to determine the career specialties needed to keep critical skills manned throughout the complex. This involves analyzing data and identifying trends to develop targeted recruitment strategies.
