5. What are the possible sources of applicants for vacant positions in the firm?
- Assessing future personnel needs involves taking a close look at the company's expected
workload, the capabilities of the current work force, the anticipated turnover, and the available
labor supply. How the company stands in relation to these factors will help management to
forecast future employment needs and develop a strategy to meet them. When a need has
been identified, the next step is to perform a job analysis to collect information on all the tasks
involved in the position and the types of skills, knowledge, and abilities required to do them.
6. What is the implication of the cost of the “wrong decision” in the selection process?
-If you are an HR and you do want to find the best of the bests candidates for a specific
position, you should carefully examine each of the applicants and after that, observe them if
they’re gonna do the work effectively and efficiently.
Engineer de Guzman lacks the expertise to fill the vacant post at the newly constructed
telecommunication facility in Antipolo with a suitable candidate. Rizal, and he is unsure of
what to do next. The answers can be the alternate actions in number $. Finding references
from his friends in the business could be helpful to identify qualified candidates, but those
people be unavailable. Additionally, Engineer de Guzman lacks the qualifications for hiring
these whether they met the requirements. The alternate strategy in number 5 is one of the
best options. Finding skilled employees is made easier by searching for a human resources
manager to assist with staff.
The number 6 is the other alternate course of action. Finding appropriate employees for
the new facility will be made easier by pursuing training and experience in recruitment.
Finding a human resource manager may cost less. The duration of facility operations is the
danger. Engineer de Guzman cannot take the training and some experience because he has a
restricted amount of time to complete his work. The final possible course of action is number
7, which could result in him failing to complete his task in time. Instead of hiring a human
resources manager, it is preferable to consult with recruitment firms and obtain a qualified
individual because doing so will increase the cost of employee salaries. I would say that the
best alternative course of action is option number 7.
