Carl Robins Case Study: Recruitment

Improved Essays
Case Study Analysis
Carl Robins has only been on the job for six months as a campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., and he is setting up his first hiring and orientation for the Operations Supervisor. He was hoping to hold the orientation on June fifteenth and have all of the new workers working by July. When the Operations Supervisor checked in with him in May, he assured her everything would be prepared in time. That led him to double check his progress that revealed that he was nowhere near prepared. He realized that there was missing paperwork, no drug tests completed, and orientation books were also missing pages. The worst part of it all was that Carl never reserved the training room and now, it was scheduled for the entire month of June. There

Carl must reserve it for the first day of July so that he doesn 't get too far behind schedule. The new hires ' start date will be pushed back significantly. After that small step is taken care of, he must focus on fixing this disaster he has created. The next step is to deal with the missing paperwork. The best option in my opinion is to host a day in June for all of the trainees to come in and complete the application process. If needed, he may extend that day into a three-day span to allow applicants plenty of time to make it into the office. Trainees must turn in all applications before they may begin training. If they value the job they are being offered, there should be absolutely no issues with them meeting this time frame. Another essential task is getting them to take the drug screen before they train as well. Most companies need these results before they offer employment. When Carl sees the new hires for the applications, he needs to give them …show more content…
All of these changes will most likely postpone the new trainee 's start dates by fifteen to twenty days. The good news is, he will have done it the right way and completed his task. I believe any employer would prefer him to take his time and pay attention to detail rather than thrown the new employees right into working without being properly trained. Carl can no longer go back and change his past decisions, but he can try his hardest to make better choices in the

    Emily Schild Mrs. Kim Roberts English 4 24 October 2016 Early College Recruiting and Verbal Commitments In recent years, college coaches have been recruiting and extending verbal commitments to elite middle school and early high school student-athletes. According to the official NCAA website, the definition of a verbal commitment is “stating publicly one’s intentions to attend a certain institution, is a non-binding, oral agreement between you and the institution. The only binding nature of the commitment is your word and the institution’s promise” (Recruiting FAQs 1). If this unofficial offer doesn’t need to be honored, why start the recruiting process early?…

    The recent and reoccurring actions of Captain O’Donnell, since her assignment to the Personnel Division in January of 2017 have had a detrimental and adverse impact on my ability to effectively supervise the Personnel Division deputies. For point of reference, Captain O’Donnell was assigned to the Personnel Division on the pretext her primary functions were focusing on recruitment opportunities and establishing an internship program. Additionally, she was not going to have any direct reports, thus the deputies assigned to the Personnel Division would remain under the direct supervision of Sgt. Bieberdorf and me. Captain O’Donnell’s first objectionable interaction with the Personnel Division supervisors, Sgt.…

    Therefore the agency can 't afford to lose another valuable and experienced employee. Overall, the vacancy announcement and applicant evaluation process would be delayed as a result, and prevent managers and supervisors from filling vacancies in a timely manner. The pool of candidates possessing the civilian knowledge, skills, and abilities required by this position is extremely limited. The tasks and duties of this position requires a candidate to have an extensive background in HR and Staffing policies, processes and procedures. The recent personnel losses have shown that we cannot retain employees or recruit candidates who are equipped to perform the job with minimal training, at the equivalent level of Mrs. Paramo.…

    The first concern was to reduce turnover; by casting a smaller net, but getting more qualified individuals we may eliminate some of the turnover. This will also help with the lag time, which was the second issue, in that there will be less applicants to sift through, thus letting us get to the more qualified candidates more quickly. This will help us target the applicants we want, which were college to middle age individuals with at least a high school diploma, preferably some college course work, with retail and customer service experience. By getting employees that already have customer service experience, they will already know what they are getting themselves into and what the expectation may be. Hopefully this will also help to acquire people who fit into the culture and are looking for a career and not just a…

    Not only did I connect to this quote because the Jets are my favorite NFL team but also due to the relevance of young recruiting especially in the football industry. The younger and younger that colligate football programs are recruiting athletes the more unknowledgeable about the choice they’re making the athlete is. I remember reading an article a few years ago from a local paper in Vermont about a young star from the south who was recruited so young he told his parents which school he wanted to go to because they had a good mascot and cool school colors. Now, this is NOT a good reason to choose an institution and this quote made me think of just that.…

    In the movie Moneyball (based on the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis), Billy Beane attempts to form a competitive baseball team for Oakland Athletics by assembling undervalued talent through a sophisticated approach of Sabermetrics. As demonstrated in the movie, a strong team can be built with empirical analysis of the game, answering objective questions and making data based decisions in athletic recruitment as against prejudice, wisdom and gut instincts.
