Analyze the information from the recruiting data


Analyze the information from the recruiting data and prepare a report showing the results of the analysis for your director.

1. Start by developing a recruitment guide like that shown in Exhibit 5.3 in the textbook. Note that the current situation differs from the example provided in the book because there is no specific timeline for hiring; this is a continuous recruiting effort because even as positions are being filled, new positions are becoming available. It is also different because Tanglewood does not have a specific list of minimal educational requirements as qualifications.

2. Describe the best "targets" for your recruiting efforts by considering the job and organizational context. Evaluate the various methods of recruiting in terms of whether they seem more like "open" or "targeted" recruiting, using the information in the book to help you make this decision. If some methods seem more "targeted," whom do you think they target?

3. For each division use the data tables provided in Appendix B to estimate how each method fares in terms of yields and costs. Provide a one-page summary of the essential results of the various data tables you have been provided.
4. Northern Oregon has suggested that the other divisions of the company use a policy of using kiosks and staffing agencies rather than using the more "touchy-feely" method of relying on referrals. Does this division have a point? What would the effect of other regions increasing their use of external hiring be?

5. Tanglewood's top management is highly committed to improving customer service quality, and proposes that simply finding the cheapest way to hire is not sufficient. Besides costs and retention, what other measures of employee performance would be good "bottom line" metrics for the quality of a recruiting method? How might the managerial focus groups' concerns fit with these alternative considerations?

6. The question of realism in the recruitment policy has been raised in focus groups. Write one paragraph proposals for targeted, realistic, and branded recruiting messages for Tanglewood's customer store associate positions. What are the traditional arguments for and against using realistic recruiting policies?
