Due to the pandemic, online applications for job opportunities in the CONUS regions have increased significantly. The increase of online applications is a result of turnover ratios from retirements and individuals seeking jobs elsewhere. The Exchange has also implemented actions of removing physical, on-site job fairs replacing them with online job fairs. Exchange human resource recruiting actions has initiated more contact with captive audiences such as military spouses, veterans, and individuals with disabilities about job opportunities worldwide. Although the pandemic created multiple challenges in hiring, the human resource actions such as moving to an online job fair not only increased the ability to obtain qualified applicants but also significantly decreased operating costs.
Meanwhile, the decrease in respondent burden for Driver's Supplemental Information and the Local National applications are a result of COVID protective measures. The Exchange anticipates that applications for drivers will increase as conditions improve in the United States, but it is unlikely the same will be true for the LN positions in the OCONUS regions.
