Required Sub-Sections/Questions to Answer
- Recruitment
Determine the best 2 recruitment methods to use for your job. Be specific. For example don't just say "the internet". Identify which specific site (or type of site) you would use and why. Justify your decisions based on visibility, efficiency/cost, and probability of success in attracting qualified applicants.
- Selection Testing
What type of pre-employment testing is most suitable for this job and why? Recommend 2 different tests and provide your reasoning for choosing them. Remember that you need to be mindful of cost and efficiency!
- Interview Plan
Outline what interview strategy you will use and why. Include the following information:
- Will you conduct a structured or unstructured interview? Why?
- How many interviewers will participate? Why?
- Provide 8 sample questions from your interview and explain why you are asking each one in a sentence or two. Remember to look at your questions both individually and holistically - did you capture all of the most important information?
- Briefly explain how questions will be scored and evaluated.
- Reference Check
Outline 3 questions you will ask references and provide a brief (one sentence) justification for each one.
- Quality Control
Imagine that you are having problems with new hires in this job. Newly hired people who scored well in testing and interviews do not seem to have the right skills and abilities for the role and you want to perform a job analysis to find out why. What specific job analysis methods are most appropriate for this job and why?
- Equity and the Law
Imagine that after completing your hiring you receive a complaint about the process not being adequately accessible for people with disabilities.
- The person making the complaint states that vision impaired (blind) people were not given fair access to the job application and testing process. Review your plan. Are they right? If they are not right, why not? If yes, what barriers were present and how could you remove them?
- Under an employment equity (rather than affirmative action) legal mandate, what would you be expected to demonstrate if you felt the allegation of indirect discrimination was unfair?
- Assume you are hiring for a private corporation in an unregulated industry. What specific legislation is most directly relevant to this disability discrimination complaint?
