However, Cassandra has 20 years of related experience, while Malcolm has six years of similar experience. Cassandra is asking for a competitive base salary plus one week extra vacation as part of the benefits package. Malcolm is asking for a competitive base salary, plus a company smartphone to be upgraded each year and paid internet service at home. Cassandra is willing to work a flexible schedule, nights, weekends, et cetera, while Malcolm prefers to work remotely from home. Both are requesting to be included in the company's annual bonus plan. Determine which candidate is the best fit for your business. 

Create a 7 to 10-slide Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® presentation with visuals and speaker notes outlining that includes the following:

• Compare the direct and indirect compensation requests for each candidate.
• As an HR professional, what do you think is the best hiring decision for the company and why?
• Write a brief (usually about a paragraph per slide) script of what you would say when presenting each slide using the PowerPoint Notes feature. Notes should be what you would actually say for that slide and not in bullet format.
