In an effort to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of NAVAIR recruitment efforts, per direction of NAVAIR’s Executive Director, the Command researched best business practices and associated Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) products that would address the functional and technical requirements to support candidate tracking. Due to unprecedented hiring demand in 2017 and 2018 and the direction by the Principal Director to the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Civilian Personnel Policy, NAVAIR moved forward with a pilot of a SaaS IT System product named Yello to meet mission demands. The application enables Recruiters to collaborate to attract and engage top talent while providing vital command recruiting metrics that provide meaningful insights, leading to more informed decisions and more strategic recruitment initiatives and outcomes. Additionally, it improves the ability to control access to candidate data and allows NAVAIR the ability to view, clean, analyze, and aggregate data as necessary to perform return on investment (ROI) data analysis of recruiting efforts. The web-based candidate information form provides a digital mechanism to capture candidates’ information in real time at recruitment events, via marketing and sourcing campaigns. The web form is hosted on the Yello Pro app and captures basic candidate information, as well as educational and experience details, allowing recruiters to review, assess, and select for interviews and contingent offers. Using the web form, NAVAIR can actively or passively look for candidates that align with hiring requirements providing full transparency and access to hiring manager’s enterprise wide.
