Abstract
This article presents solutions to recruitment problems centering on women and minorities for jobs which have traditionally been dominated by white males. Through the use of a questionnaire sent to over 100 large municipalities across the United States, we were able to discover which recruitment techniques worked, and which ones failed. In addition to making recommendations regarding recruitment strategies, ideas are offered which should aid in eliminating some of the artificial barriers which have traditionally hampered affirmative action progress in the fire service.
