...Assignment Week 4 Tanglewood Case 3 Keller Graduate School HR 594 Strategic Staffing The objective is to address the needs and the concerns of the organization to develop an effective method to recruiting. This method must be beneficial economically, as well as, productive in recruiting the best possible talent needed. A strategy must be developed along with a guide that will be shared by all locations and at all levels. In creating this method, different forms of recruiting will be employed to ensure that the target audience is reached effectively. Tanglewood has high turnover. This is a major concern for management. There is time, and money invested in to hire these employees. Training and maintaining is just as costly if there is a 50% chance of the employee leaving the company, just to start the process over again. One reason for this is because of the lack of consistence in how the managers in the different locations recruit their employees. The recruiting policies appear to be designed by the store managers with no solid structure. There must be a policy designed to recruit those individuals that will best fit the position as well as ensuring that the investment in training and maintaining pays off. Tanglewood use several different methods to recruit prospective employees. These methods are effective, but only if used properly to gain the wanted effect; which is ensuring the best candidates for the positions. The most used method used by Tanglewood is media...

...What are the current job specifications for the store manager job? Based on the information you have (or could have), how would you assess the validity of these specifications? What approaches would you use? The current job specifications for the store manager position that is required, by most district managers, at CompTech is that the candidate being considered should have a MBA or at minimum three years’ experience as store manager.

I could observe someone performing the store manager’s position or I could actually perform the store manager’s positions for a set period of time.

In the Heartland Widget Company (HWC) case, HWC planned to acquire the Chinese contract manufacturing company 888. The plan included having current HWC employee, Robert Terry, become the Co-General Manager of 888 for two years. Shortly after Robert Terry was told HWC’s plans for him, he accepted a job with a large U.S. MNC and left HWC. At the time that he quit his job at HWC, he was paid a salary of $147,000 per year. He had no bonus plan. HWC has decided to choose someone else to assign to the two-year appointment as Co-General Manager of 888.

When looking at the desired results of hiring sales associates for Tanglewood I would have to say that the Open recruitment would be the best decision on the behalf of Tanglewood. The 50% turnover would cause the need for a higher pool of interviewed and qualified applicants; one reason for open recruitment would be because specific qualifications are not needed for the sales associate position opening that pool of applicants. . 3. The Western region of Washington is the only area presently using four methods of recruiting and the only one using job services. The higher costs associated with media almost doubles the cost of the other four and second would be the cost of kiosk recruiting, these two are not significantly cost effective to the organization in this region.

...Amazon Is Hiring 1 Amazon Is Hiring… Customer Service Manager Recruiting/Staffing Strategy Dorothy Krafft OMM618: Human Resources Management Professor Cheryl Moore February 28, 2016 Amazon Is Hiring 2 As with many organizations, the recruiting process is one of the most important aspects when it comes to the employee-organization relationship. Any organization is capable of hiring an employee to fill an open position, but only a few organizations are capable of hiring an employee to create and maintain a long-term career with that particular organization. A large factor that differentiates from a job to a career would be the organization’s staffing process and the relationship they create with the employee. When an organization, such as Amazon, has a great recruiting process, they are capable of eliminating many negative aspects such as a high turn-over rate, negative customer service, unhappy employees, and so forth. A Customer Service Manager within Amazon has obligations to ensure that the organization and its employees are providing their customers with the best possible customer service, whether it’s when a customer is making a purchase, has questions concerning a product or purchase, has complications with a product, is unhappy with service they received from Amazon, etc. Due to this, it’s extremely important that Amazon has Customer Service Managers that are educated within their position, as well as dedicated to the...
