Q10. Although forces in the foreign environment are the same as those in the domestic environment, they operate differently. Why is this so?

Business has rules for just about everything important things like capital expenditures, accounting, and product design and testing. When to come to work, there aren't any rules for what's supposedly the most important thing a company needs to do hire and retain top talent. Not all selection predictors are of equal importance to an organization. Some methods may prove to be more valid and reliable in one organization and not as valid and reliable in anot

International assignments, or the act of sending employees to different countries on project assignments, are a growing trend. Because international assignments are typically very expensive, failure can have big impacts on the business. It is imperative to hire more reliable and effective international assignees. The following are criteria that should be used to select the appropriate candidate: 1-Use of a selection panel which consists of a manager from the function being recruited for, staff who have detailed knowledge of living working and conducting business in the intended

When an organization announces a vacancy or an open job position then it can be filled by either someone internally from the company already working in another position or externally by somebody who is new to the business.

Solvay’s HR group wants to develop consistent policies for the International Mobility (IM) program and be more transparent about the expatriation process. Therefore, it is important to minimize the exceptions because exceptions require a deviation from standard protocol. However, HR must also remain flexible in order to meet the strategic needs of the company. As noted in the case (pg. 1), special requests are “not unusual for the expat process.” Standard protocols are essential when handling employees who work in similar environments, and who have similar roles. However, it is important to make exceptions when asking

Subsequently, this strategy will create an enabling environment that is biased in hiring process like in the case of the Maldives, where foreigners were given job opportunities because they had the right attitude yet, the natives had more outstanding qualifications for some of the jobs but they were denied the opportunities (Boella and Goss-Turner, 2013). Therefore, the organization should reduce the act of employing foreigners in its different branches across the world and focus on the natives of the given states dwelling more on their qualifications rather than their attitudes. This would lead to employees feeling more comfortable in their work environment and having a workforce that understands the culture the business is established in as well as being well skilled and educated in their

As the US expatriate managers are poorly trained for international assignments, they experience difficulty in adapting to the new culture and tradition. The adaptation to the new place, language, people and their cultural attitudes slow down their workplace performance. Also in the workplace, they experience the cultural shock in the different working mode and staff relations.

The human resource departments of these organizations will need to implement new recruitment strategies that can effectively match talent with the correct task even if it’s located on the other side of the world.

Industry competitors that offer better pay, generous benefits or guaranteed opportunities for professional development can affect the way you select potential employees. A collegial work environment, job satisfaction and security, and flexible scheduling often are appealing to job seekers looking for a quality of life instead of the biggest pay-check. Changing the way you hire candidates in the face of industry competition might also include streamlining your selection process so candidates aren 't put off by the length of time from application to hire date.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of recruitment and selection in strategic management. Byars & Rue (2008) defined recruitment as an activity that seeks and attracts a pool of people from which qualified candidates for job vacancies can be chosen. Byars & Rue (2008) also defined selection as the process of choosing from among available applicants the individuals who are most likely to successfully perform a job. The roles of recruitment and selection in strategic management are varies. Recruitment and selection is an important phase in order to hire the right candidates, to find qualified and skilled workers, to eliminate personnel glitches, to reduce costs of training and development, to recognise the needs of the organization and to manage the candidates.

The method I used for my paper aims to gather an understanding of global sourcing and recruiting. I found articles and journals that mention recruiting sources organizations used for the hiring process. Moreover, some reports also provide the benefits and challenges of global recruiting whatever the country that recruit. From my research, I expect to understand what global sourcing and recruiting are and apply these information in my professional life.
