Recruiting, Selection & Staffing Final Project (Final Paper and PowerPoint Presentation)
use (Understand the job analysis methods, process, and sources of collecting job requirement information) as topic.
You will be required to turn in a 3-4 page paper and PowerPoint presentation about a topic covered in this course. Your paper should include at least three references, one from textbook and two from outside sources (which must be cited in the paper) dated from 2005 to present.
The paper will develop and design a decision-making process to determine which applicant receives a position supported by legal and ethical considerations. The paper will address the external and internal recruitment processes while addressing the five staffing models and the planning process for forecasting future employment needs. Students should review the textbook for the course and the PowerPoint lectures to determine their topic. Choose something interesting and valuable, but be sure that it relates specifically to recruitment, selection, and staffing.
Your paper should contain the following:
- Title
- Your name
- An introduction
- 3-4 pages (double-spaced, APA font) of cited research in 7th Edition APA format. You should access the online library and use only articles that you find there.
- A conclusion
- References in 7th Edition APA format (Including at least three references (which must be cited in the paper) dated from 2004 to present)
There are a number of lectures and materials in WRITING HELP which explain APA format, plagiarism, and writing.
Suggestions when writing your paper:
- Formatting: Be sure to use APA format. You should also use APA approved font.
- Title Page: Your title page should include the title of your paper, your name and the course name (or school name). Along with Running head, header title, and page numbers in the header.
- References: The references should include only the articles that you cited in your paper. You paper should have references from recognized business publications or scholarly journals. The reference list must be its own page as the very last page of the paper. Refer to APA guidelines for citing and listing sources in your references. Although Internet links are helpful, you must use proper citation of author, article, etc. and not just list a link in the references, or when you cite in the paper.
- Citing: Be very careful when you cite the information in the articles you use. You should write the ideas in your own words, rather than copying what the author had to say word-for-word. If you do use a specific line, make sure that you quote it so that it’s clear that it’s not your words. Do not take whole paragraphs and use them to make up a whole section of your paper (even if you cite the author).
- Research: Your research should include several types of journals and other articles on the topic you are researching. Read the articles and try to integrate the main ideas and common points into your paper. The goal is to find several sources on the same topic that, when integrated, add value to the topic and your paper.
- Grammar/Spelling: You are writing at the college level, so always use the Spell Check and pay close attention to grammar. Read your paper several times and you will catch mistakes that you might not have noticed when you were first writing it. This will make the final product much better.
- Writing: When writing a research paper, avoid using the first person, or “I” statements (like “I think this…” etc.). For example, if you were writing about the Internet and its effect on education, you could start out: “The Internet has drastically changed the way we live and has especially changed the way that many students are obtaining their education.” rather than “I am going to write my paper about the Internet and education” or “This paper is about the Internet. I am going to cover its impact on education.” Do you see the difference? The first line sounds much more professional than the last two. “I” statements or first person accounts cannot be used in research, as they must be based solely on the research and not on personal opinion, thoughts, ideas, or experience.
- Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or need some direction. I would be happy to review your rough draft in advance of the due date and provide some feedback.
