Surname 1 Students Name Professors Name Course Date Recruiting and Staffing Proposal Memorandum To : CEO Fom : Human Resource Manager Date : 8th April,2017 Subject : Recruiting and Staffing The selection and recruitment approach of the employees has a greater influence on the performance of the organization regarding production and profitability. In this case, most of the organizations have different goals and objectives, but they all share a common goal of profit maximization. However, it is important to note that profit maximization approach associates highly with a total sacrifice concerning management and accountability. Thus, selection of the staff members, especially, the senior staff, requires soberness because of the costs and the efficiency involved in the performance of the company in question. Surname 2 With regards to the issues raised by the CEO, the selection and recruitment of the senior staff in the company are based on the skills and experience that match the job positions available. In line with the above approach, there is a significant reduction spending on the internal training which eventually reduces the costs of operations for the company. Furthermore, there is also an element of management efficiency which increases the turnover ratio translating to revenue increase for the organization. Introduction Therefore, about the organization objectives, as noted above, there is a need for more recruitment and selection of qualified and experienced employees. In emphasizing the above approach, hiring more employees in the organization despite the cost implications, there is a higher improvement in productivity for the organization. However, there is a need for cost control consideration by the top leadership because of the operational costs. Yes, internal training of employees could be the best alternative approach to improving the quality of service delivery; however, it accumulates to the internal costs of operation. In contrary, the same charges could have been used for other productive matters of the organization such infrastructure development and maintenance. Alternatively, the hiring of already trained and experience, especially, the senior staffs, reduces such costs which are not necessary. Therefore, the question raised by most studies is why most executive management fails to achieve the objectives of the organizations. Thus, the proposal will seek to answer the question by analyzing in details the different recruitment and selection approach as well as the cost and benefits approach for both criteria of staffing. Surname 3 Recruitment Approach According to Root (432), considering recruitment of talented and qualified candidates is an important driver for the future success of the organizations. In 2010, the labor bureau of statistics showed that the United States of America created over 1.8 million jobs which translated to 1.2% average performance rate in the stock exchange (Root 412). However, Root (437) noted that both internal and external recruitment had the implication of either the success or the failure inherence future. Internal Recruitment Approach Root (441), the benefits of the internal recruitment relies on the interest of the organization as well as the staff members. Firstly, most of the organization with the objectives of minimizing the costs of operation would consider internal hiring which requires the junior staff to be promoted to higher positions. Secondly, promotion of employees moral and handwork because of the reward associated. Therefore, in line with above approach, there is an element of increased productivity of the organization. However, Root (435) noted that internal approach of recruitment in the organization brings in redundancy and therefore monotony of production. In fact, the internal approach recruitment subjects the organization to the high level of completion which eventually leads to increased cost of operations. External Recruitment Approach Surname 4 On the other hand, the role of external recruitment brings new ideas to the organization and encouraging innovations (Rasid 122). Therefore, concerning the innovations, the organization improves on quality creating an incentive for good completion. However, Rasid (123) disregards the external recruitment approach because it involves massive advertisement which increases the operational cost of the organization. Besides, the external recruitment only taps on the education qualification but disregards the aspects of experience for the potential staff (Rasid 166). Therefore, as noted above, it may imply the concept of double costs to the organization because of the internal training that may be required to match the job and the skills of the recruited. Selection Approach According to Joseph (232), there are many types of selection criteria that organizations consider to get the best candidates for the job position available. However, among the available selection criteria, most organizations use online screening approach by posting adds (Joseph 236). The approach noted above helps the organizations to get and uncover the talented candidates especially for the top level management. However, the question would be how to secure the right person for the positions that are open (Joseph 133). In this case, gamification among other selection criteria is the most used approach for selecting the right and talented candidates. Surname 5 Gamification According to Doyle (243), gamification is the process that involves identifying potential candidates through posting practical challenges which target to tap the skills required for the job in question. Furthermore, the strategy helps to increase the organization brand awareness which creates the competitive advantage against the competitor (Doyle 247). Despite promoting the external selection criteria, engaging and associating with fun games, helps to promote good values and cultures for the organizations as the best governance practice. On the other hand, subjective selection criteria involve observing the individual performance and the experience for promotion purposes (Doyle 234). In fact, the approach helps to promote quality and strong culture in the organization. Preliminary Interviews The reason for the interview is to get rid of the candidates who do not meet the standard of the job criteria. In this case, the applicants are either accepted or rejected based on the information provided in the application form (Rasid 135). The quality of the application form is analyzed by education background, experience and the ability of the candidate his or her mind prudently. , Application Blanks The approach of selection is the important device of getting the right information from the candidates (Joseph 245). The approach requires all the job seekers to complete the application forms which involve the personal history profile, skills, personal details and various accomplishments. Surname 6 Cost/Benefit Analysis and Comparison Most companies aim to minimalize the cost and enhance their profitability. In the case of the above scenarios, both recruitment and selection criteria revolve around funding (Rasid 178). However, comparing both criteria based on the costs and benefits, internal recruitment/selection seems cheaper it only requires promoting already experienced staffs which eliminate the costs advertising and ramifications (Rasid 134). Metrics of the Effectiveness of the Organizations on Recruitment and Selection Different metrics in the organization recruitment and selection process helps to create informed decisions on getting the right candidate to deliver on the job advertised (Doyle 234). However, among the current metrics for evaluation of candidates, working rate per hour, cost per higher and the time to fill are the most efficient used by the organizations. Recommendation From the above analysis of both job recruitment and job selection, I prefer the use of internal recruitment because it is cost effective as compared to the external recruitment which requires advertisement attracting unnecessary costs for the organization. On the other hand, selecting the right candidate need certain metrics so that to get the proper match for the job. However, selection criteria should be efficient for execution and reduce the cost of operation. Surname 7 Conclusion In summary, staffing is crucial for the organization consideration and success in future. In this case, human resource management must embrace the best recruitment approach that enhances efficiency and minimizes costs of the operation. For instance, both internal and external recruitment are an important criterion for employment, but the internal method is much easier and fast. On the other hand, it is important for the organization to set the right metrics that allows the best selection process. Comparing both scenarios, and given the cost-benefit analysis approach, the organization rips more benefits that the costs. Surname 8 Work Cited Marketing.
