Question

Answer the scenario questions. Scenario: MRG HPI is committed to maintain a highly qualified talent pool. Therefore, all MRG HPI employees must be considered for new work opportunities before being terminated due to lack of an available, relevant assignment. New employees must be hired to support existing workloads. Full-time positions requests must include verification of the project assignment; a budget to support the position; and the duration of the assignment. If project will be of a short duration, term hires must be considered through consultants or subcontractors. The addition of new position requires written approval from the project manager, branch chief, the vice president of the Training Solutions Division, the chief operating officer, the chief financial officer, the chief financial officer and the vice president of Human Resources. Subcontractor hiring requires written approval from the project manager, branch chief, the vice president of the Training Solution Division, the vice president of Contracts, the chief operating officer, the chief financial officer and the vice president of Human Resources. Staff reassignments require written approval from the branch chief, the vice president of the Training Solution Division, the chief operating officer, the vice president of Human Resources and the chief executive officer.

1. What are the existing policies and guidelines for recruitment at MRG HPI?

2. Are these recruitment policies effective? Why or why not?

3. What results do you propose from this type of recruitment policies?

Answer 1

The current recruiting procedures and requirements at MRG HPI are as follows. New workers must be recruited to meet current workloads. Full Time job applications must provide project assignment review, a budget to fund the role and length of the assignment. If the project is of short duration, team hires must be considered by consultants or subcontractors.Subcontractor recruiting includes written approval from project manager, branch director, training system division vice president, contract vice president, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and human resources vice president.

No, such recruitment strategies are not successful because the introduction of new workers needs the approval of so many people that it will be delayed because all the higher officials, such as the Vice President, the Chief Financial Officer, are often busy with their jobs, sometimes moving from place to place because of their job, so that the decision will be delayed which in turn will postpone the jobs for which they are working.

These recruitment practices may trigger job delays. Also when the company is in desperate need to recruit staff they are unable to do so because of the company's collection of rules of this nature.
