INTEGRATED GUIDANCE FOR SHELTER MANAGEMENT. THE SELECTION AND RECRUITMENT OF SHELTER MANAGERS
Abstract
The guidance materials for selection and recruitment that were verified and evaluated during this study were based upon portions of the A.I.R report, 'The Recruitment, Selection, and Training of Shelter Managers and Core Staffs' (Eninger and Fetter, 1963). That report was modified in a number of ways for application to actual shelter situations. The critical comments indicated that most of the reviewers felt that (1) the Guide was applicable to both the reviewer's shelter situation and to other shelter situations, and (2) most of the concepts presented in the Guide were useful. However, the reviewers consistently classed the recommended data-gathering form as too burdensome and too idealistic. The findings in the study were reflected in a major revision of the Guide, now entitled, 'The Selection and Recruitment of Shelter Managers,' (Smith and Jeffreys, 1965) (AD-629 914). The scope of the guidance was reduced by separating the guidance for selection and recruitment from training and eliminating the discussion of the supporting research methodology. The Guide provides more detailed recommendations in a simple, 'how-to' format. Specific procedures, rather than general principles, are given for both selection and recruitment, providing comprehensive guidance applicable to the entire range of shelter situations.
