RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION CASE STUDY
You’re the recruiter for Great Supply Company. Your company is one
of the leading and most innovative organizations in the retail
consumer goods industry. The vice President of Marketing (hiring
manager) of the organization just received notice that her Director of
Marketing for a glove accessories product line will be leaving at the
end of December 2020.
As the recruiter, it will be your responsibility to work with the hiring
manager to identify a diverse pool of candidates and find a great
Marketing Director. You will need to act fast because it will be
critical to replace the position before the beginning of the current
incumbent leaves.
To start your recruitment project, you’ll need to develop a recruiting
strategy as well as, a selection strategy that will facilitate a smooth
and successful process. In your process, you’ll need to develop strong
selection tools to evaluate all potential candidates. This would
include, but would not be limited to, interviews; reference checks
and / or tests.
Once you have established a process, you will need to execute your
recruiting strategy. It will be very important to find someone who has
solid experience within retail consumer goods or other consumer
product industries.
As part of the recruiting project, your manager (the Director of
Human Resources) has given you a job description that will help you
in finding the best people. She has also scheduled you to meet with
the hiring manager to discuss your recruitment and selection plan to
fill the open board positions. For that meeting, you need to come
prepared to communicate and discuss the hiring process and timeline.
The Director of Product Development and the Product Development
team, are relying on you to find them a new leader who will have an
impact on the organization.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Draw up a job description attached to this exercise. It is
understandable that you will not be very knowledgeable
about this field and industry. It’s your approach, your
thinking and your ability to be creative that will be the most
important part of this project.
2) Define and outline the hiring strategy that you will
communicate and use during the recruitment process. For
example, how will you move the candidates who meet the
qualifications through the hiring process?
3) Develop a recruiting strategy that will outline your recruiting
method and the recruitment sources used to identify and
recruit prospective candidates. Think about targeted
companies, agencies, professional associations, internet, etc.
4) Develop a selection tool with a minimum of five interview
questions that will help you screen potential candidates. It is
recommended that you should use the different types of
interview questions (i.e. behavioral, situational, oral
communication skills, etc.)
