September 28, 2014
To: CEO, Human Solutions Software, Inc. (HSS)
Re: Recruitment and Staffing Proposal
In follow up to your request, I drafted a recruitment and selection proposal for your review. The proposed methods for the senior level positions will streamline our processes and align them to the organization's business strategy.
My proposal includes:
Three recruitment methods.
Three selection methods.
A cost/benefit analysis and comparison of the approaches.
Metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the ongoing recruitment and selection.
Recommendations.
As part of our recruitment and selection strategy, it is very important to assess the candidate's true interest in our organization and their position within the organization. A bad hiring decision at the senior level can have extensive implications that could impact the direction, strategy and operations of the company causing a negative impact to the company’s bottom line.
After you review the proposal, please contact me to coordinate a follow-up discussion.
Thank you,
HR Director
Cost/benefit analysis
Purpose
The purpose of this cost-benefit analysis is to determine which recruitment and selection methods are the best options for HSS to perform for senior level positions.
Overview
The following is a brief overview of the methods analyzed in this document.
Recruitment Methods
Internal Recruitment - This is accomplished by choosing among current employees to fill a position that falls vacant over time. It can be achieved by a promotion or a lateral move. Executive Search Firm - This is executed by hiring a recruiting company to research viable candidates working for competitors or related businesses.
Social Media - This is executed by coordinating candidate sourcing through social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
Selection Methods
Assessment Centers - A candidate can undergo a series of standardized tests conducted by trained assessors.
