Case Study of Carl Robins’ April Recruitment Effort
Case Study of Carl Robins’ April Recruitment Effort
Introduction:
There were a few problems that came up as a result of Carl Robins’ recent recruitment effort. In this case study an attempt will be made to identify the problems faced and propose possible solutions to those problems.

In early April he successfully recruited 15 individuals to work for Monica Carrolls, the Operations Supervisor.

The tasks included the reviewing the training schedule, setting up orientation, arranging for training manuals and policy booklets, making sure physicals and drug tests were completed, and a host of other issues. Monica Carrolls contacted Mr. Robins on May 15th to discuss these tasks. During this discussion Mr. Robins assured Monica Carrolls that everything would be arranged in time (University of Phoenix, 2010). It also appears that other employees did not keep the orientation manuals in complete order as well as keep enough copies for possible future recruitment.
Alternatives: Since there are multiple problems we must focus on each individually to find solutions for all. First and foremost Mr. Robins is inexperienced due to the fact that he has only been working for ABC Incorporated for the past six months. Based his inexperience and lack of training and supervision the company as a whole has failed Mr. Robins. The company did not train him correctly nor did it provide him with the
