Case Study Analysis: Recruitment and Hiring Practices

This case study analysis assesses the following outcomes:

MT203-2: Examine the recruitment and selection process.

PC-4.3: Apply concepts of multiculturalism and diversity to
become an agent of change.

You have read about recruiting and selection processes used
in various companies as well as practiced with some of those concepts. Now you
will apply your understanding of these concepts to a case scenario and then
address the checklist items.

To assist you with this and other case studies in this class,
a document entitled “Case Study Analysis,” is in Course Documents and can be
downloaded for your reference. This document, and many other invaluable writing
resources, can also be found at the Writing Center.

Case Scenario:

A Silicon Valley recruiting firm recruits artificial
intelligence (AI) and technology personnel. The recruits workplace could be
located anywhere the company operates, depending on their skills and expertise,
although the tendency is to hire in-country nationals in each respective country.
The company uses technology-oriented magazines, the company website, and social
media to recruit the candidates they need for their clients. They started up
about a year ago and went from 3 recruiters to 50 overnight. Their recruiters
are hired for their charm, communication skills, and industry expertise,
however most of the recruiters graduated from Ivy League colleges in the U.S.
and most are white males. Lately recruiting numbers have been slowing down
drastically while general demand in the marketplace by employers for AI and
technology personnel for the coming year is up 300%.

The current recruiting practice involves hiring people via
their website recruitment area. The potential candidate merely attaches their
resume and includes a short note to the recruiter. These resumes are then
screened using a data mining program looking for certain criteria and
terminology in their resumes. Once screened, those candidates getting through
the initial screening are then auto-contacted by email to tell them they need
to complete the question/quiz accessed on the website using a particular password.
If they pass this second screening they are given an individual interview via
the company’s online conference room. Once completed, the final candidates are
finally sent to the potential employer for the final interview and selection.

Now however, the president is getting complaints from the
EEO Commission and the Technology firms that they need to be hiring a more
diverse workforce and that there are no ADA candidates, and the number of
minorities and women is almost nil. He is now worried about losing clients and
potential lawsuits as a result of their recruiting and selection processes. The
company needs to address a diverse client base. Their clients are Northern
European, African American, Indian, and Hispanic.

Checklist: As the HR specialist of the company, you are
tasked with overhauling the selection and hiring process to address the
following:

· Identify
problems with the potential candidate characteristics.

· Analyze the
company’s recruitment and selection process and problems.

· What
multicultural and diversity planning concepts would you apply at the company to
make a positive change?

· Describe how
you would make that positive change happen.
