On November 9th, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Kelly Miller from the Minneapolis branch of Randstad. Kelly has been a Senior Recruiter there for the past two years and has been in the Human Resources world for eleven years. Kelly’s role of a Senior Recruiter includes developing and managing a group of professionals for U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo, growing/maintaining a network of sources to pursue qualified candidates, and provides training to candidates on resume construction, interview techniques, and other coaching needs. In addition, she has taken on a broad range of responsibilities in her career including being a Manager of Staffing and a Director of Business Development. I stumbled upon Kelly’s contact 5information via The Edge as she was recently hiring interns there and I couldn’t have selected a better candidate to interview.
Randstad is an employment and recruitment agency that provides Human Resource services to their clients through four business groups. These services include Temporary/Permanent Staffing, On-site Workforce Management, Recruitment Process Outsourcing, Managed Service Programs, Payroll, and Outplacement. Among these services, their Staffing business is their largest by providing over 100,000 people each week with temporary, permanent, or temporary-to-hire job placements. Randstad’s primary goal of all their services is to match highly qualified candidates with companies that will help the candidates reach their fullest potential
The preferred way of adding to the sales force is through industry referrals. Through such referrals, ESPN can have access to experienced, reliable, and suitable candidates with relevant industry experience. The selection of the interviewees is based on two selective criterion: First, the candidate must have a college degree and/or related industry experience, which can be determined through resume mining. Resume mining is a process that employers endure while selecting candidates through the use of key words, which associate with their job qualifications. Next, the candidate must have reliable and credible referrals on their applications. This measure ensures that ESPN has a trusted and responsible candidate, which can be verified. If these two measures are fulfilled, the candidate progresses to an in-person
I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.
Jopwell is a recruiting firm which connects the minority job candidates with the Tech companies in Silicon Valley. The main issue faced by the Tech companies is that the referral candidates are not serving the purpose and they can’t find talented minority candidates suitable to their companies. The companies are aware of the benefits like increased financial returns by having diversity in their workforce. Jopwell is currently serving 45 companies by providing them a pool of thousands of talented minority candidates and has been successful in placing a significant number of candidates in these companies. The company is focussing on diversifying the whole organization by filling the non-technical roles as well like finance, marketing,
In the fall of 2001, Stephanie Chappell Disbrow took her talent acquisition/recruitment knowledge into the medical field when she was brought on board with Sterling Healthcare. As a Client Service Representative Supervisor, she was responsible for a small staff of lower level recruiters. Through her time here,
The common perception of a recruiter is evolving quickly in the workplace (Boswell 2001). Where once recruiters were viewed as a tool to simply acquire candidates, modern recruiters have greater responsibilities to their clients. These responsibilities can include tasks such as organizing paperwork, completing pre-screening measures, and even occasionally preparing training curriculum (Darrell 2002). Recruiters are further expected to provide quality screening of candidates and ensure the optimal match for each applicable position within a company (Posner 2006). As with any other job within a company, recruiters must take this work seriously and avoid procrastination to ensure a smooth transition for their candidates into the new workplace. Should the transition fail to be smooth, the full blame modernly falls on the recruiter who failed to use proper coordinating strategy.
I had an interview with Helen Quelch in her office. She has been working as a volunteer engagement manager at National Jewish Health for more than 7 years. Before that, she also had worked at the Denver Hospice as volunteer manager as well for many years. She had a lot of managerial experiences of working in a healthcare field. That is a reason I want to interview her to explore the career in healthcare management.
When I first saw the final paper assignment posted, I directly decided that I was going to start reading the chapter that goes over the recruiting interview which winds up to be Chapter 7 in the textbook “Interviewing Principles and Practices”. I chose this chapter because I thought it would be interesting to know how the recruiting process differs from one organization to another or from one country to another, given that I chose to interview people from outside the United States. I also picked this chapter because I realized that recruiting is the most used tool in order to decide whether a prospective employee will be a good fit to a given position in a given organization.
After writing my Professional Development Plan, I thought about a person who had knowledge of my desired position, but who also had experienced things in their life that would translate into their work ethics. After much thought, I turned to Dana Yorko. A family friend and a woman who has had experience in both the corporate world and life. Dana currently works as an General Manager for a company titled American Executive Centers. Our entire interview spent a total of three days, which consisted of exploring her work environment and the duties and responsibilities behind her position at AEC.
For the interview portion of the career paper, I contacted three different attorneys that I know. As I am not quite familiar with any of the three, I sent them formal email requests to interview over the phone or by email. The first of my three prospective interviewees is Garret Murai, the husband of my Girl Scout Troop leader and an experienced construction attorney at Wendel Rosen Black & Dean LLP. The second attorney I chose to contact was my friend’s older sister, Hannah Yang, an attorney at the national law firm Polsinelli. Ms.Yang, who passed her bar exam in 2016, just began working at the firm in November 2016 in the Science and Technology Area. She ultimately declined to participate, but I thanked her for her time anyway.

It is with great interest that I am applying for the management position of the Genesys works branch in Minneapolis. I believe that my educational background along with my managerial experience combined with my strong personal and interpersonal skills-which will be further elaborated in my resume- make me a strong candidate for this competitive position.
I chose to interview Jamie Schoenherr, an assistant athletic trainer/head of education at Buena Vista University. She finished her undergrad degree at BVU then continued her education at Western Illinois University. Here she received her master’s degree while working for a grad assistantship. Her first job was with the University of Wyoming. From here she moved closer to home to work at a hospital/help with three different high schools. Jamie then decided to return to BVU where she still works to this day. She has been employed with BVU since 2013. The reason I selected Jamie was because of her overall friendly attitude and how approachable of a person she is. When meeting all BV’s athletic trainers, Jamie stuck out the most. She always has
For my Human Resources perspective I interviewed Judie Crudo the Human Resource Director for St. Anthony Foundation (St. Anthony’s). She has been with the organization in that capacity for 25 years. Being a native San Franciscan being offered a position with St. Anthony’s was a calling to her, “working for the best” is what she wanted to do and felt St. Anthony’s really offered that opportunity. Prior to working at St. Anthony’s, she was worked in Human Resources for Macy’s and a small startup company.
This assignment is a portfolio, based on three current topics in Human Resource Management. The common theme of all the media articles I reviewed is the recognition of people as an asset by the organisations to achieve their strategic goals and objectives. It is observed that organisations are directing their efforts to recruit, retain and develop this asset.
HR managers will be faced with the challenges of recruiting and retaining the right employees for their organization. The first step would be identifying your organizational culture and the cultural and skill competencies required for success. This will give the recruiters the guidelines by which to assess viable candidates. In developing these objectives for creating an effective recruitment process, we will have to have in place a process that differentiates us from other companies. This strategy for success will provide candidates with sufficient and correct information about job expectations. The following will be address as part of the strategy:
