Technology prevails in the way we do many things this is especially important in the business arena. Hiring is needed in every workplace to ensure the growth of a company occurs. By adding employees a business gains the potential to expand services and improve efficiency. This paper will present the issues based on a case study with recruiting, job description, selections, adverse impacts, and legal compliance.
Recruiting Sources
In hiring the appropriateness of identifying the proper recruitment sources is essential. According to The University of Connecticut Health Center (2013), interviewing does not make a good candidate out of a bad one. The higher the quality people coming into the interviewing process, the higher the quality the outcome of the worker. In the case study the customer service supervisor had the opportunity of preparing questions for interviewees, and the actual interview process. The more energy the hiring manager invests in recruiting the better the results will be (The University of Connecticut Health Center, 2013).
Having an individual who is good at interviewing and has the skills to improve the odds of finding the proper employees is critical for the company. The Stars Hollow Hat Company insisted on gaining individuals for the customer service representative area, and asked the customer service supervisor to do the hiring. Asking people who you trust or have connections can find quality employees about 70% of the time (The University of Connecticut Health Center, 2013). One reason managers need to attend conferences and participate in professional organizations is to help them build and maintain networks for when an employer is looking to hire.

Recruitment and selection impacts the success of every organization. Organizations with effective recruiting and selection result in positive outcomes that affects the products and services, and the perception of the organization. Having the right people for the job will increase profits and decrease costly turnovers. Even though organizations are operating in uncertain times, focusing on staying committed, and making certain they have the best talent will ensure future success. The bottom line of the organization will be impacted by setting a clear direction that employees can get behind, and making sure the right people are hired for the right job.
This is a review of an article which discusses the different techniques of hiring the right, mainly in this case, senior executives. This article aims to provide leaders with guidance on how to add value to the hiring process by improving their recruiting diagnostics. The article focuses on a concept which is referred to as fit and unpacks. This concept breaks down into sub-categories which are, fit with the job, fit with the leader, fit with the team, and fit with the organization. Instead of the traditional approach of recruiting and assessing candidates based on the current needs of the organization, this concept also addresses the current and emerging talent requirements. The article also considers the types of questions leaders should ask and what to listen for when assessing a candidate and whether or not they are “fit”. The article provides leaders with the ability and technique to gauge the authenticity of a candidate’s responses. Another topic this article addresses is the responsibility of the leader to provide the candidate with the right information to make informed decision about whether or not they feel they are fit for the job. The article also briefly discusses some complications that come along with being fit to lead such as avoiding bias behavior, being aware of preferences and prejudices, and learning from previous hiring mistakes.
Last year Marianne delegated on-site campus interviews to three department managers to be recruiters preparing them only with a briefing to keep their questions specific to qualifications for the job. The three managers conducted 64 interviews over one week at four different college campuses and most failed to file interview reports in a timely manner. This year Marianne recognized that last year’s schedule was perhaps too rigorous for only three managers so this year she has instead selected twelve managers to be recruiters on just one college campus each. Marianne’s poorly managed campus recruiting program, has led her to seek the advice of professional HR colleagues to improve her efforts during this year’s campus recruiting program.
Recruitment questions for large operational startups include, what are the jobs, how is the employment market today, what is our competition locally providing, how can we get the best talent and finally how to do we retain them. The challenge for the Borgata was multi-faceted, a tight labor market in the surrounding area, a small local population of 40,517 of which only 63% where capable of working and the need for 5000 workers to staff the hotel in short time. (US Census Bureau. 2012). To compound the challenge the quality expectation was high, the “best of best” was required. Once applicants were enticed to apply and applications were received, the question became how do quickly identify the candidates to a manageable qualified number? How do we ensure the interview time is appropriate and effective for unto a hundred different job descriptions? To begin this monumental task of recruiting applicants, screening quickly for the appropriate criteria research must be conducted. Development of strategic hiring plans, tasks assigned to appropriate individuals and accurately executed with a c...

Companies have the never-ending task of interviewing, choosing and hiring employees. However, regardless of the repetitiveness and skill of a company's human resources department, choosing the right individual for a job is immensely challenging. Making the wrong decision can also be pricely (Small business, 2011). The employee selection process usually involves notification or advertising, analysing, screening, interviewing, testing then selecting the best applicable candidate. The employee selection process generally begins with a manager or boss commissioning human resources to fill a new or unfilled position. The manager must first decide what qualifications she desires in a job candidate. Review resumes and match each candidate's background to the job demands (Siop, 2012). Companies sometimes get hundreds of CVs for an ad. However, human resources may only examine a half dozen. During dreadful economic stages, a number of candidates may have an education and experience that exceed the qualifications for the job. The employment selection process may actually include a screening interview, notably if a job candidate lives out of town. Human resources will usually perform the screening interview over the telephone. A telephone interview also helps a company determine if the candidate has the necessary qualifications to warrant flying him in for an interview. The employee selection case can also
When employers seek new employees, they have a variety of external recruiting methods available from which to choose. The method chosen may depend on such factors as budget, desired applicant characteristics, and type of access to potential employees in the labor market. Recruiting decisions should also consider each method’s potential for adverse impact against certain groups of employees. Adverse impact in employee recruitment or selection occurs when a hiring practice intentionally or unintentionally discriminates against a protected group (CSU-Global, 2013). To decrease the likelihood of adverse impact, employers should proactively engage in recruiting activities designed to reach a broad range of potential job applicants.
• The information that a manager need to know when hiring a staff is their identity, skills summary, and experience. Those information gives an idea of what the potential staff’s life. To select a staff, a manager should make an interview and ask what they need to know, so it can meet up the provision that needed on the workplace.

Selecting the right employee is important for a number of reasons, such as, the employee’s performance, the cost to train and retain the employee, and legal obligations, such as creating and maintaining a diverse workforce. As Greenberg explains, “An organization’s success and competiveness depends on its ability to embrace diversity and realize the benefits” (Greenberg, 2004). Properly selecting the right employee for the job will greatly reduce the time and cost of future
According to Noe (2012), most experts believe that the most important human resource decision makes by a leader is deciding who to hire. Manager manages the recruitment and selection process. Selection for the best candidates for the job is very important in an organization because the performance always depends on employees, the recruiting and hiring is costly and the legal obligations like mismanaging hiring has legal consequence. The main aim of employee selection is to achieve person-job fit which is identifying the knowledge, skills, abilities (KSAs), and competencies that are central to performing the job. The objective of effective selection is to decide who the right people are, by matching individual characteristics (ability, experience, and training) with the requirements of the job (DeRue & Morgeson, 2007; Kristof -Brown, Zimmermam, & Johnson, 2005). The manager will do checking for reliability and validity of the interviewer.

Or, to take a somewhat more mundane but still very critical aspect of staffing and recruiting, consider job interviews: Should they be unstructured, so that a skillful interviewer can follow leads that develop in the course of the interview; or should they follow a script, so that there is a firmer basis for the inevitable cross-person comparisons that follow interviews? Should they be conducted one-on-one, which may encourage the candidate to relax; or many-on-one, to reduce interviewer caprice? The general point is that a specialist - someone who follows the literature on human resources management and is educated to appreciate the nuanced conclusions of human resources research - can help find answers to questions that general managers have and, even, to recognize important questions that might not otherwise have occurred to the general
