Instructions

Asssignment 3 Recruitment and Staffing Proposal

Worth up to 18 points or   18 % of total grade in the course.

Objective   of the assignment: The objective of this   assignment is to allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of the steps   required to recruit and staff for an important segment of the workplace and   to demonstrate your strategic skills to the CEO. You will share some of the   essential strategic and administrative steps for this important function of   Human Resources and will include metrics for which to evaluate the recruitment   and selection approach that will be implemented.                                                                    

The situation: Suppose that you are the new HR Director at HSS (the case   study presented in our Course Resources under modules) and you have already   made a presentation to the CEO and the Board of Directors on the need for HR   planning and and enhanced strategic role that HR must play in the   organization. After that presentation, and having read the research on   managing human resources strategically that you have presented (assignment 2   literature review), the CEO confides that she has been thinking about how the   senior staff in the organization are recruited and selected. As a result, she   has asked you to propose new recruitment and selection methods for the senior   level employees.

Deliverable:

The CEO's directive to you is to prepare a short   (approximately five-page double spaced) proposal that includes at the least:

1.    A cover memo to the CEO providing an overview of the task assigned and   a summary of your proposal

2.  A description   of at least three recruitment approaches that could be considered

3.  A description of at least   three selection approaches that could be considered

4.  A cost/benefit analysis   and comparison of the approaches of both the recruitment and selection   approached

5.  Metrics the organization   could use to evaluate the effectiveness of the on-going recruitment and   selection of senior level employees. Propose at least three metrics for the   evaluation (include the time frame for your evaluation period such as six   months after entry into the position).

6.  Your recommended approach   and your arguments/justification to defend your choices.

7.  A conclusion section that   includes a summary of the approaches recommended, the benefits and any other   aspects to the proposal you want to highlight.

Notes: Use topic headings to   organization your presentation, include in-text citations for statements of   fact, and provide a reference page if in text citations are used in the   proposal, use professional level language and writing.

You may add to your   thoughts by researching the topic but following are a few articles you may find   helpful. If the links do not work, please just cut and paste them into your   browser.
