BACKGROUND STUDY:
Globalization and fierce competition is forcing multinational companies (MNCs) to reduce costs, increase efficiency and be competitively advantageous by moving out operations and functions in emerging markets of the developed as well as developing countries. In order for MNCs to succeed, there are a lot of things to be taken into consideration because of these concerns, the areas of Human Resource Management (HRM) and International Human Resource Management (IHRM) are given a lot of attention and importance. Both fields were formed to give emphasis on a company’s need to manage its human resources, expand them and encourage them for company’s growth and success.

The reading that I chose to write about this semester is “A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier” by Ishmael Beah. Out of all the reading this semester this was my favorite. This reading was about a young boy named Ishmael, who was forced into being a child solider in Africa. Ishmael and his family was teared apart by the rebels, who are a team of child soldiers. Being that he is so young, he experienced so little of how dangerous that real world can be.

The newly developed multinational personnel selection system seems to be okay at first glance. It is great that the system is two-tiered, with the first tier consisting of three modules: viewing the applicants’ resume, an unstructured phone interview with the applicants, and three references from former employees. These three modules from the first tier are mostly related to background research of the applicant. Through the application documentations of the candidates, it is possible to screen

In general, the different arguments from different scholars are critical in enhancing further understanding of the issue of recruitment and selection. From the different arguments advanced in this article a number of gaps are identified that foster the need for further research in this field of study. The information derived from the respective scholarly works are also valuable in the sense that they help the research answer some of the research questions for this study and identify
An analytical study would focus on the tasks that need to be performed to determine valuable factors. A written job description would be beneficial so the employer would know what physical and mental characteristics one should possess and what qualities and attitudes are desirable. The Recruitment and Selection Process is one of the basic HR Processes. Recruitment and Selection is very sensitive as many managers have a need to hire a new employee and this process is always under a strict monitoring from their side.
A vital piece of managing employees is to find the right applicants for these positions. A great deal of person's success in the position of a manager could be associated with
The recruitment and selection process can affect the efficiency and effectiveness of any organisation so it is crucial that the right person is employed for the job. The selection process also involves the image as an employer and its ability to attract quality staff. When an individual is applying for a job, he/she will need to undergo some steps.
The topics I am going to discuss in this assignment are Recruitment and Selection. According to Foot and Hook (2011:161), ‘’Recruitment is commonly referred to as the attraction phase (e.g. Murphy, 2008b) and can be further defined as all activities directed towards locating potential employees, stimulating the interests of potential applicants and attracting applications from suitable candidates’’. Torrington et al (2014) propose selection as referring ‘to the methods used to decide which applicant to appoint to a vacancy’. I am going to discuss how recruitment and selection contributes to the effective operation of the HR Management purpose and also the challenges human resource management faces when hiring new employees such as availability of resources, not finding a certain candidate for a suitable position and not being able to find the talent they require. Also, I am going to include logistic examples of recruitment and selection from my chosen company which is Coca Cola enterprise.
While there are many various global issues that affect the International Human Resource Management to run efficiently, there are two key concepts that play a major role in understanding how to approach them with cohesive and a well coherent strategy; they are the International Human Recourse Management Strategy and Understanding the Cultural Environment. In the International Resource Management strategy, many companies will do their research in finding companies that offer the
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.
A recruitment represents a complex and hard process for a company, which can occur for various reasons in a business, such as: a new position was found by an employee, who left the old company; retirement and illness also represent a reason why employees leave the business; growth inside the company require a higher number of employees, needing a selection process; attempts to diversify the staff, who has different skills and knowledge; and temporary replacements are required due to illness, maternity of paternity. Recruitment process is very exhaustive and costly. Because of this, the companies have tried to discover how the employees feel about their jobs and relation with the company. (Trotter, 2013)
(2) Describe the different employee selection methods and specify which work best for different jobs.
The recruitment literature according to Breaugh and Starke (JoM, 2000) had been bombarded by criticisms for the lack of substantiated research materials and unanswered questions. The Handbook of Industrial and Organizational Psychology by Guion 1976, devoted one chapter only about recruitment process despite the numerous studies published during 1976. There were questions circulating in the recruitment literature which failed to address the key factors
