recruitment methods
Compare and contrast the likely similarities and differences among these situations. Suggest the types of recruitment methods that you would recommend as well as recruiting tips:
a) You (advising the City Council) seek to hire a permanent city manager and you want a broad talent pool.
b) You (advising the City Council) seek to hire a permanent city manager. You think that there are good candidates from within the city senior leadership team. There is great pressure on maintaining executive salaries from escalating because the press coverage of what are perceived to be high salaries even though they are in line with national averages.
c) You need a clerical support person who you are prepared to train from scratch. You want to pay from the bottom of the range (which is normal in the public sector).
d) You need a clerical support person who is going to have some supervisory responsibilities. It is a large organization.
e) You need to hire a new airport operations specialist, and such people are hard to find in the local community, althought a generally high employment rate will hopefully make the job attractive.
(f) Your unit needs a clerical support person as soon as possible. You are part of a large agency.
(g) You seek an agency head and the best people are unlikely to apply unless encouraged because they are typically already gainfully employed
ch 2
Karen just took over a unit that seems to be somewhat out of control. She has been tasked with cleaning up the Department. She will work on team and morale building later, but first she wants to be sure that some basic management controls are in place. These are some areas that she is considering working on.
–It is rumored that several of the younger workers are on drugs; two have peace officer status and two are clerical staff. It seems likely, but it is unclear whether it is marijuana or drugs perceived to be even more problematic.
–At least one employee (with peace officer status) appears to have symptoms of drinking during working hours.
–One employee has written letters to the editor twice. The first letter complained that the need for additional funding for the agency was giving risk to serious public risks because the staffing was insufficient. The second letter stated that management practices were woefully incompetent and criticized the agency head by name saying it was time for her to step down.
–Clerical staff are using the internet for personal use. Facebook usage is out of control. Staff have informally asserted privacy rights.
–Professional staff have cell phones and informally assert privacy rights during their 24-7 use. It is the manager’s perception that many staff have given up their personal phones, even their land lines. They argue that they are informally on call 24-7.
Discuss how you would proceed carefully but energetically as a manager, using the widest scope of your legal authority without exceeding normal legal bounds.
