Human Resource Management
Not what you're looking for?
Today, recruiting and selecting employees is big business, and many organizations outsource aspects of these foundational HR processes to firms that specialize in them. One of the biggest players in employee selection is DDI (Development Dimensions International: http://www.ddiworld.com/pdf/ddi_roiofselection_wp.pdf
In this mod 1 case, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to follow Bernthal's approach to calculating the ROI for selection systems in addressing this question:
How can your organization improve the ROI on its selection system?
Please prepare a paper, not including cover and reference page, double spaced, 1" margins, that should look something like this:
1. Introduction - description of your organization and its current selection systems (1 page) (NOTE: Focus exclusively on the selection system, not on recruitment. Recruitment is the focus of the SLP.)
2. Analysis of direct and indirect costs associated with the current selection system(s) (2 pages)
3. Strategy to reduce direct & indirect costs, and the estimated ROI of the revised selection system (clarify assumptions you make - 1-2 pp.)
4. Process needed to implement (i.e. steps, resources, people - 1 page)
Although it is fine to make some educated guesses and approximations in this case just as Bernthal did in his white paper, you will benefit greatly by interviewing your HR manager or personnel director (if that's not you!) to learn about the nature of recruiting and selection processes in your organization. (For example, government organizations often have quite extensive information on their websites regarding selection procedures.)
Please:
? Draw upon the sources in the background materials to guide your work, and reference any sources that you use in your work (at least FOUR, please).
? Use headings and subheadings to clearly show the structure of your analysis.
? Be sure to include a cover page and reference page, in addition to the pages of analysis described above.
