HRM Recruitment Plan Steps

Step 1: Read Chapter 5.

Step 2:  Develop a yield ratio for your job.  Collect as much information as you can from your contacts to create the numbers in the yield ratio. (Provide the algorithm)

Step 3:  Develop a recruitment strategy by:

Describing where to look to develop a pool of applicants

Determining the sources from which qualified applicants can be located (How to look)

Determine how often to look by developing a time line. (Time from position opening until filled)

Step 4:  Develop a search strategy by

Creating the message you want publicized

Determining how you will disseminate the message

Step 5:  Estimate the cost of your recruitment and search strategies.    Use rationale when determining these numbers. (Itemize the budget)

Step 6:  Create a written report documenting the process you undertook to complete the steps.  I am interested in reading your thought and decision making processes so that I can understand what you did and why.  This report can be no longer than 3 pages (typed, double-spaced).  Please understand that the report requires an introduction, body and conclusion.  The actual outputs from Steps 2-5 (e.g., the yield ratio, etc.) should be placed in an Appendix.  Be sure to reference the items in the Appendix in the 3-page report.  The appendix can be any length and may include graphs, charts, and exhibits.
