Recruiting Plan Proposal Instructions & Background Information:

The case for this assignment outlines physician attraction issues faced by Windsor, a mid-size Canadian city located in southwestern Ontario. The city is experiencing a severe physician shortage. To address this shortage, city leaders must create a compelling vision of the benefits that incoming doctors might anticipate when setting up their practices in their area. To that end, the City of Windsor has created the Health Services Recruitment Office staffed by an HR director with previous experience in other industries. The director is responsible for locating and attracting candidates, but not for screening or selection. Her immediate challenge is to find a general practitioner for a local hospital, but her long-term goal is to address the substantial physician shortage throughout the region in hospitals, clinics, and family practices.  Current statistics about the doctor shortage from public sources referenced in the case study are included.

This assignment will require you to identify how to improve the current recruitment strategy by offering plausible and implementable recommendations to increase the doctor applicant pool and alleviate the critical doctor shortage. All necessary performance criteria for the position is provided in the case study.  When thinking through this project, keep in mind that this is a position-person fit. You will also need to customize recruitment strategies, including drafting an itinerary for each of the certified candidates and make a recommendation on the other.  

The expectation is that you will reference external sources to help you better understand the case.  Your overall proposal is to develop and present recommendations to the director of Health Services Recruitment.

Using a business memorandum style format, you will prepare your recruiting plan proposal. Your proposal will be separated into three parts. Your proposal should be very well organized and address all of assigned questions. You will be judged on your ability to and capacity to present strong, analytical and logical discussions that support your conclusions.

For this week, address all of the following:

• Develop interview questions that should be a part of the director's interview protocol. Identify the three options of interview protocol and analyze the pros and cons of each. Determine which option is best for each candidate.
• Develop a sample itinerary for each candidate.  Each candidate should have a tailored plan based on their individual qualifications.
• Conclude by recommending what actions the director should take to attract the three profiled candidates.
