Human Resource: Recruiting and Staff Plan
Human Resource: Recruiting and Staff Plan
Discussion 1
List at least three jobs and research the organizations’ recruiting practices. The jobs could be positions you have held or of those you want to hold. In your post, address the following questions:
- How were you recruited for each position (or how is the typical employee recruited)?
- From the organization’s perspective, what are the pros and cons of recruiting through these methods?
Your initial post should include at least two outside sources to support your response. Respond to at least two of classmates’ posts.
Discussion 2
Some organizations set up a selection process that is long and complex. In some people’s opinion, this kind of selection process is not only more valid but also has symbolic value. In your post, address the following questions:
- What can the use of a long complex selection process symbolize to job seekers?
- How do you think this would affect the organization’s ability to attract the best employees?

Include suggestions for improvement, questions you may have, ideas for sources, and so forth. The critique should be 200 to 250 words and include citations and references for the text and at least one scholarly source.
