Working with and Leading People
There are many ways in which we can inform and or attract potential candidates. Advertising is the key aspect and the strongest way of doing so. There are a number of ways to advertise for example job centers, local radio, national & local newspaper, television, university careers offices and the internet. It is vital that we put a clear concise, attractive, positive advertisement across to our potential applicants for this Senior Sales Assistant position. In this particular scenario – Craft Masters external recruitment is a must as it is evident internal recruitment was not very successful, which lead to a dismissal and a warning to Mr. John Smith (branch manager). Nowadays the internet is a powerful source for job hunters to find their dream job and also from the recruiters side it’s an easier, cheaper, sufficient way of advertising. Also from the last time they advertised in the local newspaper over 500 people applied which is such a positive outcome, if they were to advertise nationally the outcome would be outstanding. Other ways that would best suit Craft Masters would be specialized magazines or local radio.
Coming to a conclusion, I feel in my opinion the internet and the local & national newspapers are the two best ways of informing and attracting potential candidates for Craft Masters as it’s evident from the previous time it was a successful outcome from just using the local newspaper, also using the internet is a great way of advertising as we can reach the target market (potential candidate) were looking for and also keep record of how many people actually read the add in which case can be a positive thing because if there is not much response it can go back to the advertising department for them to re-evaluate and rectify the

Research has shown that the best followers often perform at a level 20-50 percent higher than average followers, and much of this difference in performance is due to motivation. Leaders who have dissatisfied followers or cannot motivate followers will have difficulty building teams and getting results.

    Recently I was employed as a Senior Administration Manager for a construction company I work for. Their office procedures were not structured and communication between Senior Managers, Project Managers, Estimators and Accounts were disintegrating due to lack of procedures or procedures being nonexistent. Every person had their own way of working, work schedules were nonexistent, there wasn’t any communication between departments, bills weren’t being paid and invoices weren’t being sent out after a job was completed. It was a real mess and the Director of the company was at his ‘wits-end’. I was employed with the expectation of implementing a change…

    1. There are several problems within the company with regards to the turnover of staff for the role of Clerical Administrative Support. This seems to be a problem that has arisen through the recruitment processes of the company. One issue being that the person responsible for the recruitment of staff for the post is that they did not have the adequate time to follow appropriate recruitment process and the first candidate interviewed was employed. This issue may be due to the fact that it was not discussed with fellow colleagues on what requirements were needed for potential employees to possess in order to fill the position. Another issue is that the position vacancy was passed onto an employment recruitment agency. This is not a suitable recruitment method for the company to use as the agency does not have full knowledge of the job requirements. A clear job description needs to be drawn up so that the candidates as well as the interviewer know what is expected of them. Person specifications can then be drawn up from the job description so that the candidate is aware of the main job role and tasks as well as the knowledge and skills required in order to fill the position. This will also help the interviewer with the interview process. Methods that can be used to aid the interviewer in selecting the right candidate for the position are biodata, selection interview, rating, psychological testing, and organisational data.…
