DISCUSSION 1  

list at least three jobs and research the organizations’ recruiting  practices. The jobs could be positions you have held or of those you  want to hold. In your post, address the following questions:

• How were you recruited for each position (or how is the typical employee recruited)?
• From the organization’s perspective, what are the pros and cons of recruiting through these methods?

DISCUSSION 2  

Some organizations set up a selection process that is long and  complex. In some people’s opinion, this kind of selection process is not  only more valid but also has symbolic value. In your post, address the  following questions:

• What can the use of a long complex selection process symbolize to job seekers?  
• How do you think this would affect the organization’s ability to attract the best employees?

• Freda, the head of HR in a large corporation, receives an e-mail from Jason, who was recently terminated. Jason had been terminated for below average production. Freda knows that the reasons for his termination were well-documented in his personnel file. In his e-mail, Jason alleges that his supervisor, Doris, made several inappropriate comments of a sexual nature to him over the past few months. Freda decides on a course of action.There are all sorts of legal problems that can arise because of termination. One of the big issues that lawyers see is that issues surrounding the termination are not documented. Because things can go wrong in a termination, it necessitates having clear policies and procedures that are consistent for everyone so that you don’t run up against discrimination issues.
