A business strategy to help the unemployed, and underemployed.
Daniel Faherty
Business Communication Class
Overview
Geographic Solutions is an employment database company that delivers job listings to employment sites such as: Indeed.com and Monster.com.
Their goal is to bring the latest information to the client base to retain accuracy, quality, and efficiency.
So they deliver job listings to the client base of unemployed civilians, but what happens after they apply? What can Geographic Solutions do to empower the interviewee, and create success within the hiring process for their client base?
The Opportunity
The Current Situation
As of right now, Geographic is a database listing company delivering job listings to websites and employment businesses. After they deliver those listings, their job is done. I want to implement key team strategies to go even further and help guarantee success of the unemployed person by keeping reliable database information, creating job success brochures, and working with WorkNet Pinellas to help the client to achieve confidence and resilience.

The Opportunity
Key Success Factors
In order to guarantee success in this business plan, everyone involved must know their part and perform as directed.
Everyone is assigned a role based on their skills and job title.
Their names and job titles are listed as such.
Who is involved?
I have called on four additional people that are valuable assets to this plan.
Jay M.- Internet Researcher
Jason M.- Internet Researcher Manager
Debbie J.- Overviewing Manager
Mark J. – WorkNet Pinellas Agent
The Opportunity
Key Success Factors
What is everyone’s role?
Jay M. & Jason M. – As internet researchers, these two will collaborate and make sure all database entries of potential job listings are the latest, most accurate descriptions possible. In order to insure success the client needs correct information about the job and it’s requirements.
Debbie J. – As an overview manager, Debbie has extensive knowledge of procedure and all programs used to upload database entries. She will make sure all software runs smoothly for the entry process and supervise all quality of the material put out by the internet researchers.
Mark J. – As a Worknet Pinellas Agent, Mark’s job is crucial to the success of the plan. Not only will Mark use the job listings as an asset to his job, he will look for ways to help the client achieve success of their job hunting endeavors. He will implement one-on-one training with the client with interview tips and a mock interview session to help them be confident and ready for their job interview.
The Opportunity
Strategic Option
The best option to achieve success in my plan would be in the following steps.
Create a team of members: A small close-knit group of members will ensure efficiency and high confidence in their duties.
Implement specific jobs for all members: When everyone knows exactly what their jobs are and does not have to worry about anything else, this creates focus and accuracy.
Create a work plan for those jobs: With a map of exactly how to do their assigned job, this eliminates confusion and questions. This will allow each member to devote more time to their assigned task rather than fall under confusion.
Collaborate with WorkNet: An agreement with Work Net Pinellas must be made to make sure everyone has the same expectations and desires for this project.
Create brochures and informative pamphlets for clients: To make sure Mark is confident in his job we will create pamphlets full of ideas, and tips for success to help Mark train these clients on how to have a successful interview.
Benefits & Risks of Strategic Option
Benefits:
Could decrease the state unemployment rate.
Help people find jobs they are qualified for and deserve.
Reduce the stress of finding quality employment.
Create great morale and confidence in clients.
Help have a greater client turnout base.
Risks:
Could overload current members on duties with their current jobs.
Could have a negative affect on clients by applying pressure on them.
Relationship between WorkNet Pinellas and Geographic Solutions may not be symbiotic.
Call to Action/Final Recommendation
I recommend implementing this proposal on a trial basis and tracking all statistics of the program.
We need to record employment morale, successful employment influenced by the program, amount of additional man hour required to run the program, client reviews and feedback, team member feedback.
I think the period of 1 year is a good trial period for the program to ensure quality, and success.
At the end of the 1 year period, all data should be analyzed by Debbie J. and she shall determine if the program was a success or failure.
