ABC Case Study Drew Whisenhunt COMM/215 November 10, 2014 William Morgan ABC Case Study After completing the necessary research on the hiring fiasco that occurred at ABC Inc., I decided it was imperative to get information on today's job market and how it affects the hiring process. In this situation a recruiter six months into his job was attempting to bring in 15 new hires to finish orientation to work in the operations department. When the supervisor checked in on the new recruit Carl assured her that everything would be in order by June 15th. The recruiter set out to complete the important paperwork needed for orientation, he found at his dismay, that there were many errors Background Due to the fact that Carl Robins (the before…show more content…
This would mean all applications, transcripts, drug screenings, and physicals would need to be verified for completeness. Each new hire should have been sent to an approved agency or clinic to complete the required physicals and drug screening during the application process. At which time results could be placed in the individuals file. During the review, It was apparent that this was not done. The orientation manuals should have been properly compiled and checked for errors. The reservation of the orientation room should have been cleared in advance but was neglected. If Carl had been properly trained he would have been prepared for the hiring process and would have avoided these mistakes. The proper mentor would have ensured his success by providing tips and handing down as much information as possible. A good tip from the mentor would have been on organization like using a checklist and ensuring room availability.

Another option is for him to come clean and tell his supervisor about his mistakes and attempt to fix them. Personally I would recommend that Carl speak to his supervisor to see what she would like him to do. Also he should attempt to contact any new hire that has not completed all portions of their application process including the drug tests and physicals, to see how many of them could complete them as soon as possible. As for the documents missing from the orientation manuals he could do his best to complete them and make sure all manuals had every document needed to complete orientation. He still has some time to complete as much of the process as he can before the 15th of June. He will need to tell his supervisor that the orientation room is reserved for someone else through the month of June. He can offer to move the orientation to July or move the orientation to another room. This would give him more time to get organized and ensure that everything was ready before the new orientation date. If Carl chooses to hide the failure from his supervisor he could risk losing his job if she found out that he did not tell her everything. With the second option
