Finding the Right Employee for the Correct Job and What it Takes to Keep that Employee Once Hired

For this discussion activity, you will conduct your scavenger hunt by
finding two examples of where an organization conducted hiring and
interviewing practices that were considered transparent and open for
everyone to see, and then provide two examples of where an organization
failed in this area, along with the end result for the organization.
Remember, these examples can come from any organization. If you do find
applicable information about your own organization while working on this
discussion, please use it where applicable in your own SWOT analysis.
These examples can be from current events, historical instances, or
classic examples, in video or print.

Conduct a web search seeking two examples of where you believe an
organization excelled in hiring new employees with fair hiring practices
and equal opportunity and then two examples where this management
function fell through the cracks.

• Discuss what you found during your web search.
• Provide a description of your selected key functions and how these functions can and do affect all managers and organizations.

In response to your colleagues:

• Discuss any personal experiences you have had with being hired or
  interviewed (both good and bad) and explain some of the different
  techniques organizations use for interviewing perspective employees.
• Discuss any similarities or differences with your own perceptions.

As with each discussion, when responding to your fellow classmates’
posts, you need to discuss their examples and experiences and present
different thoughts and ideas on how best to approach and resolve these
issues. In addition, as we work through the discussion, remember your
own SWOT analysis and consider the information gained here as you work
on your assignments this module.
