Week 3 discussion
Recruitment or
Staffing Methods
Discussion One: We have many methods for recruiting
employees. In recent years, with the advances of information technology and the
world wide web, new methods are now available that were not used even ten years
ago. List three methods for recruiting entry level managers, share what you see
as the advantages, disadvantages and risks of each of the three methods for
recruitment.
Discussion Two:
Application
After reviewing the case study in the module for this week,
review the following situation and provide your thoughts.
We are using, once again, the case study from the module
provided. In your readings about the company we call HSS.
There is a possibility that HSS will receive a large new
contract with a firm in the Portland, Oregon, area. This new contract will
require the opening of a new facility for HSS that will require at least 30
people to fully staff the office.
The founders want to know whether it will be better to move
experienced people from HSS headquarters in Maryland to manage the facility or
to hire new people to manage the facility in Oregon.
Prepare a memo in which you address the advantages and
disadvantages of both internal and external staffing methods of a new office
that is remote from the main office. Make sure the memo has bullet points for
both the pros and cons of each alternative.
