Information Management - MIS-3371-2GW

Instructions 

Headhunter, Inc., is a new personnel recruiting and placement company. The well-established and cash-rich management consulting company that founded Headhunter is intent on providing adequate financial resources for the new firm to acquire information systems. Headhunter has opened offices in eight major U.S. cities and two European cities.

Recruiting specialists exchange written correspondence with prospective clients, both managers looking for new positions and companies that might hire them. Records of both recruits and client companies must be kept and updated. All 10 branches should be able to exchange information in real time to maximize the potential markets on both continents. Headhunter professionals will often travel to make presentations before human resource managers and other executives.

The majority of Headhunter's own personnel are college graduates who lack programming skills. Headhunter management would like to adopt software that is easy to learn and use.

Please answer all questions
