    Employers face many risks in association with selection processes. Organizations must ensure that statements, overtures, and advertisements are not suspect, and its selection process is free of discrimination (Moran, 2008). There should be no references to age in the selection process, or any use of terms such as, high school student, college student, recent college graduate, boy, girl, or any terms pertaining to age in the company’s advertisement of a job description (Moran, 2008). The use of preference in advertisements in reference to a particular race, religion, gender, or national origin is against the law, unless the organization can show that a bona fide occupational qualification requires these qualifications with the exception of race and color. Disregarding the terms above will result in discriminatory violations. The purpose of the selection process is to find the best candidate for the job. I will analyze two different selection processes and strategies by identifying the case examples and the purpose of the selection process. Also, by giving an explanation of a selection process design to minimize risk, discussing the strategies effectiveness or ineffectiveness, and providing an alternative for each selection process if necessary to reduce the risk to the company.…

    One focus for certain organisations this year has been around budgets and cutting costs where possible. One area where budgets have dramatically tightened is recruitment. This has caused a review of specific methods that are used to attract talent into the business at as minimal cost as possible. It is important to research the ‘best’ method of attracting the ‘right’ individuals to the position; if this is not done correctly it could cause a cost implication due to unsuitable applications being received, and vacancies not being filled. The use of agencies to source talent has reduced dramatically due to the cost impact this has on the business. In order to save costs of recruiting the focus now seems to be on developing talent in-house rather than attracting external talent into the business. This may also, however, have a cost implication to an organisation as, in order to retain and develop existing talent, a review of the company benefits may…
