Case Scenario:

A Silicon Valley recruiting firm searches for artificial intelligence (AI) and technology personnel for major companies around the world. The recruits' workplace could be located anywhere the company operates, depending on their skills and expertise, although the tendency is to hire in-country nationals in each respective country. The company uses technology-oriented magazines, the company website, and social media to recruit the candidates they need for their clients. They started up about a year ago and went from 3 to 50 recruiters. Their recruiters are hired for their charm, communication skills, and industry expertise; however, most of the recruiters graduated from Ivy League colleges in the U.S., and most are white males. Lately recruiting numbers have been slowing down drastically while general demand in the marketplace by employers for AI and technology personnel for the coming year is up 300%.

The current recruiting practice involves hiring people via the firm's website recruitment area. The potential candidate merely attaches their resume and includes a short note to the recruiter (Step 1). These resumes are then screened (Step 2) using a data mining program looking for certain criteria and terminology in their resumes. Those candidates getting through the initial screening are then auto-contacted by email (Step 3) to tell them they need to complete the quiz accessed on the website using a particular password. If they pass this second screening they are given an individual interview (Step 4) via the company's online conference room. The final candidates are sent to the potential employer for the final interview (Step 5) and selection (Step 6).

Now, however, the president is getting complaints from the EEO Commission and the technology firms that they need to be hiring a more diverse workforce and that there are no disabled candidates, and the number of minorities and women is almost nil. The president is now worried about losing clients and about potential lawsuits as a result of the firm's recruiting and selection processes. The company needs to address a diverse client base. Their clients' customers are predominantly Northern European, African American, Indian, and Hispanic.

Checklist: As the HR specialist of the company, you are tasked with overhauling the selection and hiring process to address the following:

? Identify problems with the potential candidate characteristics for which they are hiring. 

? Analyze the company's recruitment and selection process and problems.

? What multicultural and diversity planning concepts would you apply at the company to make a positive change?

? Describe what changes you would make address complaints from the EEO commission and the technology firms.

Introduction

The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like a brief overview of the topics you will be discussing in your paper. The introductory paragraph is designed to set up the rest of the paper by offering your reader a glimpse of what is to come. The goal here is to grab your reader's attention and make him/her want to read the rest of the paper. Type paper in the third person (no I, my, we, you, our, your, etc.).

Review/Analysis of the Case

Your response should be written using your own thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Include information from the chapter reading assignment and the case study to help support your points. Be sure to let your reader know where you got your supporting information by including a citation afterward. An example of the first citation for your textbook is (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2020). All subsequent citations of your textbook should end with the parenthetical citation as follows (Noe et al., 2020).

Your response should be written using your own thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Include information from the chapter reading assignment and the case study to help support your points. Be sure to let your reader know where you got your supporting information by including a citation afterward. An example of a citation for your textbook, after your first citation, is (Noe et al., 2020).

All subsequent checklist items should be addressed in a similar manner as the example questions above until all questions in the assignment have been answered fully.

Summary and Conclusions

The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like a closure for the topics you discussed in your paper. The concluding paragraph is designed to wrap up the paper by offering your reader a review of what he/she just read. The goal here is to summarize your own responses to the case study checklist items, while at the same time providing your reader with some points to consider after reading the paper.
