    Peer Graded Assignment

    Section 1. Inter-relatedness of organizational functions

    a) Describe one element of the organization that is affected by recruitment and


    selection. (For example, if you have a labor shortage you cannot satisfy customer
    demands).

    Ans: As per my past experience in one of the US based Real Estate Property Consultants
    firms, lesser engagement with employees led to demotivation among employees which
    ultimately affect their performance. Many left the organization and found a better opportunity
    in one of the competitor’s firm. So, basically it affected the turnover rate in the firm.

    b) Describe how an element of the organization affects recruitment and selection.


    (For example, if you have a decrease of customer demand and sales, you may
    have to reduce wages. This would likely make it harder to recruit employees.)

    Ans: Honestly speaking, the firm has not learnt the lesson, they hire the employees in lower
    salary packages, whereas it should be more as per the nature and demand of job. This again
    leads to demotivation among the employees. There are various factors that are responsible for
    that in India, but I don’t want to discuss about it as it could lead to a long story.

    Section 2. Internal Factors

    Address one of these internal factors in your organization. How does it affect
    recruitment and selection? What is/are the

     Current workforce profile


     Sales numbers
     Future outlook
     Succession plans
     Turnover
     Engagement
     Budgets
     Productivity, quality, safety
     Production capabilities
    Ans: Engagement, Budgests, Productivity are the three factors which affects the Recruitment
    process. But the thing is the firm where I worked, they say that are No 1 globally, but the
    employees never felt like. Rest I don’t know about the current scenario since I am no more
    associated with them, but still whenever I connect with my ex-colleagues, I get to heard the
    same things. The Leadership is more concerned about numbers rather than engaging with
    employees.

    Section 3. External Factors

    Address one of these external factors in your organization. How does it affect


    recruitment and selection?

     Labor Market– pay rates, unemployment


     Economy
     Competition
     Globalization
     Technology
     Industry
     Legislation
     Customer demands (seasonality, preferences)
     Location of organization
     Societal changes and demographics

    Ans: Competition is one of the external factors that affects recruitment and selection. The
    employees are leaving the organization for a better opportunity. The competitors are
    ‘poaching’.

    Section 4. Inputs, Outputs and Throughputs

    Name an input, throughput and output of the recruitment and selection process.
    Explain your answer.

    Example:

     Input= applicants
     Throughput= selection process
     Output= new hire
    Ans: Input= Employees

    Throughput= Enagagement

    Output= Less Attrition, more motivation

    Section 5. Feedback

    Feedback is a crucial component of systems theory. What sort of feedback do we need


    to gain from the internal and external environment to ensure the success of our
    recruitment and selection methods?

    Furthermore, how will you measure the success of your recruitment and selection
    efforts?

    Ans: As per my opinion, from both these factors the firm needs to communicate,
    communicate and communicate with the employees. Communicate the vision to them, so that
    their strategies and objectives can link with the firm’s vision. This will not only motivate
    employees but will increase productivity. Ultimately, it will increase the employer and
    company branding. Also, during the recruitment process I would suggest the recruitment
    team needs to communicate their expectations more clearly to candidates.
