Finding the Right Employee for the Correct Job and What it Takes to Keep that Employee Once Hired

Finding the Right Employee for the Correct Job and What it Takes to Keep that Employee Once Hired

For this discussion activity, you will conduct your scavenger hunt by finding two examples of where an organization conducted hiring and interviewing practices that were considered transparent and open for everyone to see, and then provide two examples of where an organization failed in this area, along with the end result for the organization. Remember, these examples can come from any organization. If you do find applicable information about your own organization while working on this discussion, please use it where applicable in your own SWOT analysis. These examples can be from current events, historical instances, or classic examples, in video or print.

Conduct a web search seeking two examples of where you believe an organization excelled in hiring new employees with fair hiring practices and equal opportunity and then two examples where this management function fell through the cracks.

  • Discuss what you found during your web search.
  • Provide a description of your selected key functions and how these functions can and do affect all managers and organizations.

In response to your colleagues:

  • Discuss any personal experiences you have had with being hired or interviewed (both good and bad) and explain some of the different techniques organizations use for interviewing perspective employees.
  • Discuss any similarities or differences with your own perceptions.

As with each discussion, when responding to your fellow classmates’ posts, you need to discuss their examples and experiences and present different thoughts and ideas on how best to approach and resolve these issues. In addition, as we work through the discussion, remember your own SWOT analysis and consider the information gained here as you work on your assignments this module.

Things to Remember!

  • Post a 2 to 4 paragraph discussion post (300 words minimum). Justify your explanations by including in-text citations and references in APA format as applicable.
