...Recruitment and Selection Strategies Recommendations Chasity Hopkins HRM 531 May 28, 2015 David Van Gorder Recruitment and Selection Strategies Recommendations Recruiting for employees and deciding whom to select can be a tedious task but is often the most important. Without employees, the organization will not meet the organizational goals. Bradley Stonefield, the owner of Landslide Limousine, has an organizational goal to establish a limousine company. The plan is to have a net revenue of $50,000 the first year of operation with a -5% annual revenue growth. Bradley is looking to select 25 employees in the initial start of the business; of the 25 employees, Bradley believes there is going to be a 10% turnover rate. Atwood and Allen Consulting recommends Bradley look at the following areas: forecasted demographic changes, an analysis of projected workforce needs - for the next five years based on organizational goals as well as demographic changes. Also, look at workforce diversity objectives, organizational branding, methods for recruiting candidates, methods for screening candidates, interview methods, testing procedures, interview process considerations and methods for selecting candidates. Forecasted Demographic Changes Landslide Limousine should consider the different demographic changes in their area. Bradley should look into the forecasted demographic changes for Austin, Texas.

...Recruitment Strategies As Landslide Limousine prepares to open up their company, it is imperative that the right personnel are selected. In order to achieve the organizational goal of offering first-class limousine service to the Austin Texas area, there must be a consensus among leadership for an open-minded approach to select employees who emulate the diversity and culture of Austin. According to the 2010 census, the city of Austin has now crossed the threshold of becoming a Majority-Minority city. In essence there is not a specific ethnic or demographic majority and for good measure, the median age is 32 (AustinTexas.gov 2014). Knowing these factors will allow Landslide Limousine to select employees who are the face of the current and future city. There is an adage, which states you get what you pay for (Vonnegut 1967) and it is imperative for senior management to either invest in an outside firm or stay with in-house resources when it comes to the hiring of personnel for this location. Austin is a city which, has potential for growth yet many of the affluent are moving further west and east of the city and operating in the city has risks and benefits. How will Landslide Limousine attract customers and how will the employees fair in a market that is still in the process of reaching the top in Texas? Since the company expected revenue for the first year is -$50,000, utilizing in-house resources would be the first plan of action. In today’s society a quick and free...

...Unit 12: Recruitment and Selection P1 – Identify how two organisations plan recruitment using internal and external sources Recruitment is the process of identifying when an organisation needs to hire a new employee. It is one of the key processes of any organisation. When the process is carried out hastily, it is fraught with dangers. But when it is carried out with skill, it can be one of the most important investments that an organisation can make. The top aim of recruitment is to select someone to be a part of the organisation team who can do the job that is needed to be filled to the required standard of performance. This can be done either internally or externally. Below is a simple flowchart of the recruitment and selection process Reasons for a Vacancy Naturally, the first step in the recruitment process is when a vacancy arises in an organisation. However, before that organisation can rush to fill in the position they would have to consider some points, like why this vacancy has arisen. The first example could be that the previous employee left to go work for a competitor business or it was due to them having problems within the organisation. So unless these problems are resolved, then the new candidate will likely be unhappy too. The second example can be that an organisation will have to recruit someone to cover their female staff if they take maternity leave. In the year 2009, mothers were entitled up to 52 weeks’ maternity leave (1). Employers will be having...

...HR planning for future recruitment activities is difficult even in any economic climate. So when businesses are ever changing and the economic climate is challenging, undertaking HR planning for future recruitment activities is very difficult. It can be done however and this paper will explain how. This essay will outline what HR Planning is and how it is related to future recruitment activities as well as outline the benefits of HR planning in an organisation as well as what those difficulties are. I will then go through some strategic human resource management techniques that will help the human resource planning process easier in relation to future recruitment activities.

Importantly with appropriate skill sets that help to deliver a competitive advantage in the organisation’s chosen market place (Compton, Morrissey and Nankervis, 2009).
