Hrm/531 Staff Selection Process

The case in question focuses on Mary Briggs, a school superintendent who does not function as an effective strategic leader in her work position. Briggs oversees and supervises a school district comprised of more than sixty schools. In recent years the schools have had a significant low performance. Parents often complain and blame this problem on teachers. However, others decided to "blame the problems of the school district on Superintendent Briggs, who, as the leader, should be able to fix most of the problems facing the district" (DuBrin, 2016 p. 444). It seems that for Briggs, the most important part of her job is to create visions. She believes that her job as a leader is to

The Interview is a most important function in selection candidates and all companies mostly depend on interview rather than normal test so, uncommon to select candidates with it in most organizations.

The documentary relates to the United States in the way of that the public school system is broken. Government and political officials have repeatedly promised to correct the public school system and have failed to deliver. Programs such as the no child left behind act and standardized tests have been created to correct this system. But these programs and tests actually hurt this system since they are based on a narrow curriculum not measuring an individual student 's skills and talents. Other issues which are mentioned in the documentary and affect our country are teachers unions and tenure. Teachers unions refuse to reward good teachers who actually aid our nation 's students so they are able to succeed. The tenure system legislated by the American Association of University Professors in 1900, keeps teachers who hinder the education and performance of students from being fired. Which leaves students to fail and these teachers with no repercussions. Such as in New York, between 2006 and 2011 only 32 out of 132,000 teachers were fired for any reason.

Betsy DeVos’ name is starting to get attention. She is, after all, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the next United States Education Secretary.

A manager should hire people who truly want to work. The managers need to place or list the requirements of the job and become very specific with it so that it appeals only to those who are serious about working for the company and will only apply if they are completely interested. The managers should look for employees who have a line of success so that there will be many people who apply for a job and those who have been fired for many reasons or have failed they probably will not be the best choice if you are looking to hire someone who is statistically going to be a success and become a long term employee. As a manager you can always network and see what other people who know the applicant at a personal level or who have worked alongside the applicant. You can also talk to their former place of employment to get their story or opinions about the said applicant. The manager can also prescreen the applicants to narrow the number down to a far smaller group of qualified people. Also if the economy is good you may be able to recruit from other companies and not settle for other people or less than the best if you are looking for a specific person for a specific job such as a CEO looking to find a CFO. You would not want to just settle for anyone. This is some ways to make sure you hire the right employees from a big pool of

In this competitive business environment, recruitment and selection practices play a vital role for the growth of a business. Because skilled manpower is the main factor for a successful business and through proper recruitment and selection practices this manpower is achieved which leads to organizational growth. The process of attracting and finding suitable candidate for the required position is recruitment and selection is the process of appointing or hiring right people (Batt, R. 2002).

Selection is a difficult decision making process. Business

Leadership is a construct that stretches across every aspect of life. Within the educational system, the majority of decisions about schools are made by upper administration at both the state and district level. High-stakes testing, unfunded educational mandates, and tight budgets have been guiding administrators to make extensive, critical, and impactful decisions in districts, at times, without input from essential stakeholders such as teachers. McCombs and Miller (2009) described results in the following way, “what began as an effort to create a culture of achievement for all has resulted instead in a culture in which achievement has been subverted, leaving teacher and school leaders weary and demoralized” (p. 13). This type of culture

There is no doubt that schools and school districts are under a lot of stress to remain off of school improvement. With the enactment of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and various state initiatives, school districts across the nation feel as though they are under the gun to meet AMO, increase test scores, promote student engagement, make sure that students are college or career ready, etc. The pressure is high, and schools feel as though they are under fire not only by government, but the community and education circles, as well. School districts are constantly looking ways to improve student achievement, boost test scores and ensure that, when students graduate, they are college or career ready.
