Paper details
Taking a strategic approach to HR, managers anticipate the future supply of and demand for employees
and the nature of workforce issues, including the retention of employees. These factors are considered
when recruiting applicants for job openings and making the best selection decisions possible.
Being able to recruit and retain the “best” employees has been a challenging task for HR managers. The
“best” employees are not necessarily the most qualified individuals (e.g., those with the most education or
work experience); they are the individuals who provide value to an organization, who complement the
organization, who understand and embrace the organization’s mission, who help build an inclusive
workforce, and who fit the culture of the organization. This quandary is a result of a number of different
variables such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, job performance, motivation, and workplace
compatibility.
Furthermore, contemporary HR managers also are tasked with contributing to peak performance initiatives
because of escalated global demands and competition.
There are two important functions related to staffing; they include developing employees and building aninclusive workforce.
In this assignment, assume you work for a consulting firm and have been tasked to help fill a position for a
client company. The company is a private-sector business located in your home state.
First, go to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, latest edition (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ ) and research a
position that is interesting to you. Assume that this position is the position you need to fill for this
assignment. You are to address each of the following:
Develop a one-page job announcement, recruitment flier to announce the industry-specific opening. This
ad/flier could be put on your consulting company’s website as well as other locations. Creatively, match the
flyer design to the client’s industry.
Should diversity and inclusion be built into the recruitment flier? If so, how?
[This flier needs to be submitted in the assignment drop box along with the essay as described below.]
In your essay, include the following sections:
Introduction. (No heading is needed for the introduction section that introduces your reader to your paper.)
Note: The introduction is often written last after your other sections are completed.
Comparing Job Announcements: (provide heading of your choice).
[In order to write this section, first view a website such as Indeed.com and locate a job announcement for
the same position. Alternatively, you can meet with your company’s HRM and review a similar job
announcement.]
Compare the obtained announcement with the one you created and write about the differences you see:
Which ones are in the announcement you obtained but not in your created announcement?
Which ones are in your announcement but not in the one you found?
Would you change your announcement to incorporate any of the differences that you noted being on one
announcement but not in the other? Why or why not?
Critique how diversity and inclusion is addressed in your announcement as compared to the announcement
you found.
Recruiting Strategies: (provide heading of your choice).
Explain in detail what recruiting strategies you would employ to find candidates qualified for this opening for
your client company.
Selection Processes: (provide heading of your choice).
Describe which selection processes you will use to choose the best person for the job.
Conclusion: (heading is optional; it is up to you). Don’t forget to wrap up your essay with a few summary
statements.
Support your work by using high-quality references (at least two that are found in the Trident Online
Library).
Note: This assignment requires two submitted documents, (a) the job announcement/recruitment flier, and(b) a 3- to 4-page Word document (not counting the cover page or the reference page).
