General Difficulty of External Recruiting for a Job<br />

The objective is to determine the level of difficulty associated with recruiting<br />

individuals. Recruiting is a difficult and expensive proposition, particularly, when the<br />

need for highly skilled Sailors is rising. Thus, we have the capability to look at demand<br />

and pay ratios to meet this requirement.<br />

Analytically, we are looking at the skillObjects within a job, the skills associated<br />

with the tasks within the skillObject. From these we calculate the Average Proficiency<br />

for the job.<br />

We then calculate the average industry pay using Department of Labor standards and<br />

compare it with Navy pay and benefits.<br />

This metric becomes extremely valuable when recruiting for military-specific<br />

technical jobs.<br />

Number of Sailors Required for the Mission<br />

The objective is to determine the number of people needed to successfully perform the<br />

mission. Requirements determination for the fleet is a major concern with our changing<br />

world and changing missions. Historically, we have relied on industrial engineering<br />

techniques that are time and labor intensive. Our goal is to develop the analytics that will<br />

enable us to meet the requirements determination challenge with equal accuracy using<br />

data collected from our occupational structures.<br />

This analytic, using mission identification software, staffing requirements, criticality,<br />

risk factors, has potential. It is not operation, but shows promise.<br />

OTHER ANALYTICS<br />

We are working on several other initiatives that provide the predictability required in a<br />

changing military environment. Some of these include: Jobs that require teamwork,<br />

Average level of expertise required for a job, Outsourcing, Depth of training, etc.<br />

With the characterizations available to the Navy with the insertion of SkillsNET<br />

methodology into NOTAP, we have opened numerous vistas for occupational analytics<br />
