Develop a 6-page business report on a recruiting plan strategy for
HR management and organizational leaders for the expansion of either
Fleet, Farm and Home (FFH) or an organization of your choice.
Introduction
If you are choosing to base this assessment on Fleet, Farm and Home, view the
multimedia to help select a new FFH location and to recommend a
recruiting plan strategy to support this organization’s expansion.
Consider the following:
- A typical FFH store will need to hire roughly 100 part-time and full-time employees to properly staff it.
- A preferred candidate would have 1–2 years of college and 1 year of retail or customer service experience.
- A primary concern about each of the following locations under consideration is the availability of qualified applicants:
- Ottumwa, Iowa.
- Ottawa, Illinois.
- Grand Island, Nebraska.
If you choose to use your own workplace (or an organization you are
familiar with), use similar education and work experience requirements
for potential candidates as well as three U.S. markets that fit with
your selected organization.
Use federal, state, county, and city government websites, including
Chamber of Commerce or local visitor bureau sites, or any appropriate
resources, to develop the data and information needed to guide the
decision-making process for FFH or for your own workplace or
selected organization.
