Bret Harte Case Summary

Mr. Killingsworth discussed some of the recruitment strategies used by District 11 to recruit and hire a diverse group who are focused on student achievement, no matter what position they are hired for. His goal during recruitment is to find the candidates that fit the descriptions of what his principals need. Some of the recruitment strategies used by District 11 include: school websites, Facebook, and branding. Branding is use of the district logo so candidates know who they are when you see their logo. At job fairs his job is to meet, greet and brand. LinkedIn is one of the target groups District 11 uses for passive candidates. When marketing for a particular school Mr. Killingsworth reminds administrators to always shed a positive light on their school.

For that reason, the principal and school administrators will be visible and visiting classrooms, making rounds, and attending and participating in community events. The school leaders will use their voice to be advocates for the needs of the students, parents, faculty, and staff of HSHS and to showcase everyone’s accomplishments.

Recruitment: It is the process of identifying and attempting to attract candidate who are capable of filling job vacancies appropriately (Kathryn M. Bartol and David C. Martin, 1988)

“Northern Oregon has suggested that the other divisions of the company use a policy of using kiosks and staffing agencies rather than using the more “touchy-feely” method of relying on referrals”. I agree with this division of rejecting the use of employee referrals of unqualified

In a way it gives these employees an unfair advantage compared to employees being recruited in other ways. If managers are making it a goal to find qualified new hires, it is best if they use kiosks or staffing agencies rather than a method of relying on referrals.

Bret Harte wanted the truth to be told, he asks society to see reality. In Harte’s article about the 1860 Massacre he describes graphically the slaughter of the Indian people. The people he wrote to despised his piece on the massacre because it told the bloody truth. They ran him out of town because even though they wanted this massacre to occur they did not want to be reminded about this unholy event. In Harte’s writing he conveys not everyone is as racist and discriminative as the people. Harte says “Tipton proposed that they should send the child to Red Dog, —a distance of forty miles, —where female attention could be procured. But the unlucky suggestion met with fierce and unanimous opposition” (Harte, pg. 356). Harte shows that even though

Dr. David Bolton has had an interesting spring, to say the least. He has served in the capacity of the Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education in Central Bucks for two years. At the end of Dr. Bolton’s second year, the retiring Superintendent planned to retire officially on May 30, 2016 but in a series of events involving new School Board members, he was asked to clean out his office on Monday, May 9, 2016. The Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education also retired early in March of 2016, leaving Dr. Bolton currently with the title of Substitute Superintendent until a new Superintendent begins on June 6, 2016. Dr. Bolton has been completing tasks since March as Elementary and Secondary Assistant Superintendents and Substitute Superintendent all at once. My original interview was scheduled with the outgoing superintendent during the week of his departure. In light of this complication, Dr. Bolton was gracious enough to answer my questions in an email but I was unable to interview him in person or on the phone due to his busy schedule.

Turning Points in the Life of Bret Harte A turning point is an event or or occurrence in our lives after which our life is significantly different or changed , often it is only after sometime has passed that we realize the meaning or effect of a turning point. Bret Harte (183-1902) grew up in Brooklyn and went through many different turning points in his life, which later contributed to his writing. When Bret was only nine years old his father passed away, so he took any job he could get and was very independent. By the age of 15 he was self sufficient and did not need anyone else to survive, and he published his first poetry book.

Authors, a lot of them surround us today, they are the person who enhances our imagination, or gives existence to anything that is plain and different. In American history, there were a number of poets and authors who rose to popularity. They changed people’s outlook on everything, and added a great amount of different things in American literature. Throughout this time, there were a couple of great poets and authors who helped create the local color school in American fiction. One poet who helped in this movement was Bret Harte.

In many schools today, the PLC process is structured from the top - down. School districts decide to implement a PLC handbook, either a purchased program, developed by district leadership, or through support provided by the state

Some of the advantages of a highly socially focused recruiting drive using referrals is that it is an inexpensive way of recruiting however it is one of the best ways to get candidates. Human capital is one of the most valuable assets of an organization, and recruitment serves the important function of attracting the necessary talent (Van Hoye, 2013). It is also very believable to interested candidates because they can tie a person that experienced it to the company. Because a candidate is being recruited by someone they deem as reliable they put much more trust into the message that is being sold them. A major disadvantage to this is that the employer has no control over the message being relayed at all.

Now that the definition of recruitment is clear it time to explore the different strategies that are used in the recruitment process. Kevin Ryan, successful CEO of Guilt Goupe, states, “Recruiting is so important that we intentionally overinvest in it” (Ryan, 2012, p.45). This statement shows how important recruitment is. Being a recent college graduate that landed a job fresh out of college within my field and now seeking work, I can say first hand that the recruitment process is not done in one certain way, but in a variety of ways. One of the most common ways to get recruited is by referral. Referrals take place when current workers of an organization inform their associates about job openings and recommend they apply. In certain instances, when there is an extreme

In order to recruit the best possible assistant manager at Panera, we plan on executing multiple recruiting methods including local advertisements, referrals from current employees of Panera, and posting the open position to general job listing sites and the corporate website. Recruiting can be described as “the process of developing a pool of qualified candidates” (Williams, p. 223). We are looking for someone to fill the assistant manager position that is highly qualified and shows an exemplary set of skills. We are going to be looking externally for an assistant manager who can bring in new ideas and perspectives that can make our company thrive since many “establishments that rely exclusively on network hiring tend to be small, less formalized, and in the private sector” (Marsden, 1994). We are going to be targeting employees that we think will fit the job description well which includes being able to complete the tasks, duties, and responsibilities expected of them and that they will fit in along with current staff members.

Recruitment and selection process held an important role for building a strong sales force performance. This process requires the company to invest through human capital as an important resource. The objective of this process is searching for qualified candidates to fulfil the right positions and hopes that they can make long-run returns for the company. Even though there is no right or wrong way how the company chooses the right candidates for certain positions, every single step in recruiting and selecting candidates should be taken carefully in order to get the right person in the right position.
