Evaluate staffing process results using yield ratios, cycle times for Dexter Williams
This is a question that was asked about human resources in evaluating a staffing process using yield ratios and cycle times.
Keepon Trucking received a order that will take 3 years to complete and requires the hiring of 100 new assemblers. The HR department implemented a special staffing process to fill the new vacancies. Applicants were recruited from 3 sources: newspaper ads, employee referrals and a local employment agency. All applicants were subject to a common selection and decision making procedure. All offer receivers were given the same terms and conditions in their job offer letters and there were no negotiations. All vacancies were filled.
After the 1st year Dexter Williams pulled together some data to attempt to determine how well the staffing process for the assembler jobs went. This was the only data that was kept for review
