Recruitment and Selection Project

The two parts of the project that I will outsource for the recruitment and selection project include strategy and development, as well as the evaluation and control phase. The strategy development phase entails establishing the platform for reaching applicants. The strategy development should be outsourced to an online advertisement company since they understand the most visited sites where applicants look for job vacancies. Besides, the online company has most traffic for candidates looking for job opportunities, unlike the company website, where only a few applicants would reach. Getting the advert too many applicants as possible is essential for acquiring the right talent.

Also, the evaluation and control phase would be outsourced since it involves the coding process. Coding consists of the expertise of a software development company. The company has not developed any system that performs similar or same duties. Hence, there could be delays in the IT department. However, by outsourcing the coding process to software developers, the system would be developed efficiently, making it compatible with various operating systems. Notably, the software developer would ensure that the deadline, six days, is met to enable the closeout phase of the project.

Nonetheless, the part which has the best chance of staying on schedule is the job description phase. The duration is six days and would be met since the most significant elements that would be involved include a listing of the company’s job positions. Then, the qualifications, skills, duty, and other related requirements under those positions would be listed with the help of the HR department. The only part that raises concern about remaining on schedule is the searching and screening phase. During the coding process, searching and screening measures necessitate the real-time application of the recruitment process. Perhaps the approach that is effective from the developer would be unproductive for the company. The process would be involving and would take much time to integrate suitable strategies.

Importantly, I will monitor the progress of the project by setting regular check-ins. Each phase is designed to take six days. Therefore, I will evaluate the achievement of each milestone at the end of the six days and share reports with the project development team. Also, I will clarify expectations by defining the stable plan, which outlines the scope and related tasks that should be achieved at the end of every phase (Papke-Shields & Boyer-Wright, 2017). Hence, as the project manager, I would ensure the project stays on schedule by breaking down the major tasks into smaller ones. In this way, moving from one milestone to the next is streamlined. Also, I will plan unexpected risks since issues halt various project milestones, and prolong the schedule.

Besides, for this project, the six-warp activities for closure begin with confirming tasks are accomplished based on the project requirements, based on completion of the entire project’s deliverables. Next, there is the closure of procurement by paying all the team developers and the third-party developers and the end of any payment requirements (Papke-Shields & Boyer-Wright, 2017). Then, the project will gain formal acceptance by the company, where the company accepts the output of the recruitment and selection system. Next, the final performance report is completed by recording and calculating the cost, schedule, and quality performances. The fifth activity is archiving and indexing the records by presenting all the relevant company projects to the company. Lastly, there is updating of the lessons learned that are collected from all the stakeholders.
