Do not write about BOTH topics! Your paper must be less than four typed-pages total (12 point Times Roman font, double spaced, one inch margins). Write the paper as a proposal. This writing assignment is not a “report,” it is a “proposal.” As such, you writing style, tone, and content should come across as authoritative and persuasive. Your job is to convince me (your boss) that your ideas should be implemented. Feel free to use reasonable creative liberties when describing the organization you work at (which is the same organization that employs the job you selected). You can make-up an organization if you’d like, or use a real organization. 3. Conduct research. You are required to research and cite AT LEAST two academic or professional articles or websites. The articles or websites you research and cite must be from the sources listed in Appendix A of this document or from another professional or academic source. If you want to use a source that is not listed on Appendix A, please ask me first; I will check the source to verify that it meets professional and/or academic standards. Your grade will be influenced by your ability to effectively incorporate value-added research into your proposal. A casual “mention” of a source without elaborating on the utility of the source will result in point deductions. 4. Develop your recruitment or selection system Content points will be awarded based on the degree to which your proposed recommendations are rational, well justified, and demonstrate understanding, appropriate application, and thoughtful integration of course concepts. You also may demonstrate creativity in how you present your persuasive proposal and the recruiting or selection approach you propose. Although your proposal can benefit from creative ideas, your ideas also must be effective and appropriate! Clarity of writing points will be awarded based on my assessment of tone, style, and ease of reading. The grading rubric for each topic/paper is posted on Blackboard. Please consult this rubric for a better understanding of the criteria against which your paper will be assessed. See below for additional detail on each type of proposal. 5. Determine how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your proposed system. Using EEO, reliability, and validity concepts discussed in class, describe how you will measure the effectiveness of your proposed recruitment or selection system. Describe short-term and long-term metrics that you will use to determine the effectiveness of your proposed system. Describe what potential actions you could take to further improve or refine your proposed system, if the metrics reveal that the system could be improved. 6. Write your paper, structured as three sections. 1) Job Overview – A brief description of the job. 2) Your proposal for EITHER a new recruiting approach for this job OR a new selection process for this job. 3) Evaluation – How you will determine whether your proposed recruiting or selection system is working effectively.
