The Northern Oregon suggests an idea of using Kiosks and staffing agencies for hiring employees for all the stores, they believe this is the most accurate way that Tanglewood should use and implement to recruit new workforce; these methods have not only been successful Northern Oregon, but for South Oregon region too. However, The Eastern and Western regions have used a different approach, they have used the employee referral tool to recruit new employees, and it has been successful until the moment. I believe this region does not have a valid point, because if they decide to generalize the hiring and recruitment process into general ways as Kiosks and staffing companies, these other branches might start using and hiring people who does not have clearly understand what the needs, tasks, basic requirements and knowledge for the job are. Also, by implementing these new policies these branches might not receive the same quantity of people trying to enter the organization, and quality from the employees, affecting the working environment and results of these stores.

Due to complaints from store managers regarding the quality of employees a thorough assessment of Tanglewood’s hiring practices was instigated. It was determined that a organization-wide shift to a more detailed selection system was needed. A search for good predictors of sales associate performance that would create minimal additional administrative burdens for managers was initiated.

I think it was inevitable that the U.S. would be joining the war on the side of the Allies. One reason was the Zimmermann Telegram, when German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann sent a telegram to the ambassador of Mexico, and the goal was to get Mexico to become an ally of Germany and promise land from the united states if they joined forces but British cryptographers deciphered the telegram and afterwards Mexico declined their offer resulting in America becoming closer to joining the war. America later then joined the war afterwards, but before that was the sinking of the sinking of the Lusitania,

The Home Depot (THD) is the second largest retailer (besides Wal-Mart), and the largest home improvement store in the world (THD, 2012). The company has not had any need to recruit employees in the past, but recently they have had an issue fielding applications for qualified personnel to work in their kitchen planning departments inside the stores. The issue is not that there are no willing people to fill the spots, but that THD has been unsuccessful finding people who have the qualifications to fill the positions. Associates can be recruited from other areas of a store, but the training process is extensive and expensive, so the company is looking for means to fill the positions with more qualified individuals. Thus, the training process would be shorter and less expensive, so the employee would be in the position quickly. This paper outlines a recruitment plan for the position.

Mark Ambrose is looking to hire someone new since he had to fire an employee for stealing goods while closing the store alone. Mark came to me for some advice on who he should hire next and insight on ways to hire a more honest person. I would advise Mark to do background checks on any potential replacement to ensure that he is hiring a qualified employee. Also, check and verify the application and references. Former employers can verify their former employees’ honesty and work ethics. Mark should also invest in security cameras. Since Mark had to fire an employee for stealing, having the cameras watching can help Mark catch any theft early on. Mark can also provide fraud awareness training. He can make sure that the person that he hires learns

One of the biggest struggles in my life tends to be food. I love eating, but at the same time, I rather not eat. I love trying new foods with exotic flavors and unique recipes, but I fear the reaction that by body will force on me. I have recently been diagnosed with a condition known as dyspepsia. This essentially means my stomach does not enjoy food as much as my mouth does. With each meal, I face the possibility of becoming nauseous after eating. As a result, I tend to avoid large portions, greasy, or overly sweet foods. Although, every now and then, I push my fears of food aside and fully indulge myself in spectacular meals. Poe’s Tavern has been the restaurant in which I break beyond my fears and gorge on food. Located in Wrightsville beach, Poe’s Tavern tends to be one of my favorite places to eat to feel satisfied after a meal, and fascinated as a literary fanatic throughout the entire experience. This restaurant has been created in honor of the author and poet, Edgar Allan Poe. Poe has been credited as the creator of the mystery and horror genera. He tends to be most well known for his poems and short stories, in which Poe’s Tavern glorifies through their restaurant environment as well as food selection. Poe’s Tavern has been a phenomenal restaurant for any literary enthusiast with an interest in a fascinating environment and adventurous taste pallet.

For many years companies have depended on three basic tools, such as résumés, interviews and references to gather qualified candidates. These sources are commonly used in a day to day basis but have proven to be inadequate for consistently selecting good employees. When it comes to hiring and selecting you want to use productive tools to help determine the best decision possible. Using the incorrect tools to hire and test potential candidates causes employee turnover and retention. Companies need to understand what pre-employment assessments are and why they are effective. I will be discussing the best means of hiring and testing new employees. Exploring what other companies are doing in hiring and testing, accessing the positives and negatives of each, and lastly offering recommendations to our department.
