The VS National Recruitment Program provides consulting and support services to management, recruiters, civil rights committees, and applicants on all aspects of recruitment, hiring, and outreach. Additionally, we are actively involved in the workforce and succession planning process, and the furtherance of diversity in VS has been the focus of many of our initiatives.
