So like all vocations and companies, staffing has their own language of sorts. Most of it revolves around acronyms and abbreviations. I know in the US Army alone they have a "book of Acronyms". Actually more like a set of books, in that the "book" is composed of 28 books each book being 400+ pages of acronyms.
Well the Staffing one is not that big. Today I am going to state what some of the more common acronyms stands for. For a definition, simple put the following string in your search engine: define XXX were X equals what the acronym stands for, example define “Affirmative Action”, you will get: " Affirmative Action- program to stop discrimination: a policy or program aimed at countering discrimination against minorities and women, especially in employment and education."This will work with most of the acronyms.
