Case Study Analysis
ABC, Inc., like many companies hires new employees to make the company better. As part of the hiring process at ABC, Inc. a campus recruiter is the person that is responsible for the hands on process of hiring new employees. The campus recruiter is responsible for the process of hiring, orientation, physicals, documents and drug screening to complete the new hire process successfully.
ABC, Inc.’s new recruiter Carl Robbins has been on the job for six months. Carl recently hired fifteen new employees to work for Monica Carrolls, the Operations Manager. Carl has scheduled an orientation for the new hires to take place on June 15th. Carl plans to have the process completed and the new hires fully employed by July 1. Unfortunately for ABC Inc., Carl has no previous experience with the process of hiring new employees. He is unaware of the time it takes to get all the paperwork, orientation, physicals, documents and drug screenings completed.

Carl must consider any unforeseen obstacles or unplanned events that will get in the way of the new hires being employed by ABC Inc. and starting work on July 1.
