...Companies are increasingly utilizing online recruiting in an effort to reduce costs, stay competitive, and reach their target market. “E-recruiting and fairness: the applicant’s point of view” (Thielsch, Traumer & Pytlik, 2012) examines how applicants perceive the procedural fairness of e-recruiting processes. This study has critical human resource implications because fairness perceptions of potential applicants can influence an applicant’s evaluation of the organization and their motivation to apply. This research endeavored to answer three questions and confirm one hypothesis; Q1) What are the general experiences and expectations of applicants with respect to e-recruiting? Q2) How does an applicant’s perceived importance of procedural fairness in e-recruiting compare to their expectations? (researchers hypothesized (H1) that perceived importance would be higher than expectations) and Q3) How do applicants react when different experimental information is given in a fictitious online recruiting situation? The methodology incorporated an online survey involving 1,373 participants. The survey was divided into three parts. Part one gathered demographic information. Part two addressed research question #1 and required participants to answer four questions. Part three was divided into two specific sections. The first section addressed research question #2 and hypothesis #1, and required participants to answer a questionnaire specifically adapted to analyze online recruitment...

...Human Resources Departments are very rarely thought of as a strategic partner for organizations or one that can add value by management teams. In the fast paced workplace HR professionals are expected to “provided expanded services of higher quality, [which are] faster and seamlessly linked with other corporate functions” while maintaining the personal, face-to-face relationship with the organizations employees (Hendrickson, 2003, p.1) This can become a challenge because of the added responsibilities and required turnaround time, but human resources professionals do have the potential to provide top notch work with the assistance of a human resources information system. HRIS/HRMS Overview Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) are a key piece of every human resources department in today’s workplace and about 90 percent of all HR departments currently operate with some form of computerized” system (Mishra and Akman, 2010). An HRIS “is a system used to gather, store and analyze information regarding an organization’s human resources [function] comprising of databases, computer applications and hardware and software necessary to collect/record, store, manage, deliver, present, and manipulate data” to keep companies running smoothly from an employment perspective (Shibly, 2011, p.157). A well thought out and implemented HRIS is a strategic partner for human resources professionals, managers and employees within an organization. They “emphasize doing administrative tasks...

...responsibility of the supervisors and managers to utilise available resources to train, qualify and develop their employees. We find that employees had not been provided with sufficient training related to their job role. For example: One of the employee Ms.Ruth Johnson was hired almost two months ago as a machine operator but was not aware of the machine output productivity or its name! Therefore, we can conclude that there was lack of On-Job Training for the employees hired. On-Job training is a primary method used for broadening employees’ skills and increase in productivity. - Hiring Employee: The case study highlights the fact that there is no participation or contribution from the HR Department in terms of hiring new employees, which means that the office does not have any HR Department working. Hence, employees were hired by supervisors direct, who were over occupied with many job responsibilities and believed in the fact that immediate replacement was the initial need of the company. They lacked the actual skills and understanding of successful human resources functions, which means right candidate did not come through and even if they did, then further lack of training, motivation and probably not good wages forced them...

...Grace Walters MGMT 1100- PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT CRN 49771 Human Resource Management is the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. Human Resource Management can also be performed by line managers. (Heathfield) Human Resource Management is the organizational function that deals with issues related to people such as compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, communication, administration, and training. While human resource management is sometimes referred to as a "soft" management skill, effective practice within an organization requires a strategic focus to ensure that people resources can facilitate the achievement of organizational goals. Effective human resource management also contains an element of risk management for an organization which, as a minimum, ensures legislative compliance. Human Resource Management is also a strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Effective Human Resource Managers enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organization's goals and objectives.

...Case Study-1 Jack Nelson’s Problem Chapter-1 Introduction to Human Resource Management Page: 1 * The case is all about the necessity & functions of HR unit in a local bank. In this bank Jack Nelson is a member of board of director and Ruth Jonson is an excellent employee. As Mr. Nelson was very much curious about how Jonson operate her machine, she briefly gave an idea about it. Speaking with the in-charged supervisor of a branch of this bank Nelson found that something was wrong inside the branches. But unfortunately it was not known to Jonson. Jonson found out the main problem and it was high employee turnover. In this bank selection time of employee is very short and at the same time the new employer quit their job in a very short time. All branch supervisors hire their new employees without communicating with the home office or other branches. During the time of development of opening, the supervisors tried to find a suitable employee to replace the worker who had quit. After visiting the 22 branches, the finding is that problems are similar mostly. Nelson wondered about the movements that he should take and the home office steps. The more he thought about the matter, the more perplexed he became. The problem is as much as complex that he couldn’t put his finger on that problem and he did not know the actual place whether to report his findings to the president. * Most of the experts believe that there are five basic functions that all managers perform...

...the motor vehicle industry in Bangladesh which requires high quality and highly skilled labour force to cater to the rapidly increasing global demand for communication services but is currently facing an increasing shortage of skills supply. Moreover, due to shortages of skilled workers, high turnover rates, and rapid business growth in the service sectors, it has been noted that recruiting, selecting, and placing applicants are among the top three priorities of human resource professionals (Bureau of National Affairs, 2000; Straus, Miles, and Levesque, 2001 cf. Bauer et al., 2004). Since the motor vehicle industry in Bangladesh is faced with these three challenges, recruitment and selection comprises an important human resource practice in this industry. Further, in this industry, human resources comprise both the raw material and the “technology” (Communication) and are therefore of prime importance. |1.1 Origin of the report: | This report titled “Recruitment and Selection Procedure of Safat Motors Limited” is a curriculum requirement for Master of Business Administration (MBA)...

...RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION Few people question that recruitment and selection are key strategic domains in HRM. At the same time, recruitment and selection also have an image problem. First, recruitment and selection are often viewed as ‘old’ ingrained HRM domains. It seems like the traditional recruitment and selection procedures have been around for decades, which is at odds with the ever changing internal and external environment of organizations. Hence, practitioners often wonder whether there are any new research-based ways for recruiting and selecting personnel. Another image problem for recruitment and selection is that a false dichotomy is often created between so-called macro HR (examining HR systems more broadly) and micro HR (examining individual differences). It is further sometimes argued that organizations should value macro approaches and write off micro approaches as not being relevant to the business world. We posit that these image problems and debates only serve to distract and fracture the field and hide the fact that excellent HR research and practice needs to take both macro and micro issues into consideration. For example, creating an effective recruiting strategy (some would describe this as a macro process) requires considerable understanding of the decision making processes of potential applicants (viewed as micro processes). The same can be said with respect to designing effective selection systems, etc. The challenge for many...

...paper is about to provide the importance of having a job analysis, which is usually implemented by the HR officers, who handle hiring these new candidates. Therefore, the paper will also identify the different methods of recruiting personnel and the importance of using the right method. The job analysis can provide companies with the necessary tools to hire new qualify people, and to retain them in the company, which helps to improve the company's growth. Job Analysis Job analysis is a tool manager's companies can use to interviewing, hiring, training, and promoting employees (Kelley, 2002). However, the job analysis has many functions, some of them include measure the employee's performance, reduce the risk of having physical injuries, and determine the qualifications an employee may have to perform certain jobs. In other words, job analysis is necessary to determine the amount of skills, levels, and time frame. All these aspects are part of the hiring processes and are more known as the strategic workforce planning process. The formal job analysis process consist of many different steps, for example, the human resources department must create a job analysis where they identify the employee's skills, knowledge, and aptitudes. However, this is not the end of the formal job analysis process; once the interviewee is selected, the job analysis starts playing a major role in the company. During the recruiting process, the human resources department must perform...
