Introduction In the ABC Inc. case study, some problems have occurred relating to human resource management practices. Therefore, to get a clear understanding of the situation and the way to resolve the issues, ABC has hired my consulting company. After completing the evaluation, the firm is expected to spot the problems and recommend ways of improving the hiring practices of ABC. In the recent hiring conducted by Carl Robins, a number of issues became evident. According to the analysis, the problems are associated with poor time management and planning skills of the newly hired recruiter and, more specifically, the recruiter’s inability to conduct the orientations at the desired time. In as much as ABC is determined to solve the issues arising in the case study, it is required to equip the human resource staff with a comprehensive outline of the hiring process as well as the components of the process. Background Carl Robins is a newly employed staff at ABC Inc. within the human resource department. He was assigned to oversee the recruitment of fifteen new campus hires to work with Monica Carrolls, the operations supervisor. The initial phase of hiring was successful in which the recruiter identified the new trainees. The task that followed was to train them.

Indeed, some of the applications from the hires were incomplete, transcripts were missing, and none of the hires had undergone a drug test. On top of these, there were insufficient orientation handbooks, yet the three available were incomplete. As many people would expect, Carl started to check each and every component of the orientation exercise. He went to check on the training room where the orientation was scheduled to take place. Adding to his frustration, he found Joe, the technician from technology services arranging computers in preparation for another activity that was to occupy the whole month of June. To his realization, the problem of not having a room for the orientation was too much. Key problems One big issue is ABC Inc. The company made a big mistake when it assigned Carl the responsibility of the hiring project. The recruiter had been in the company for just six months, which reflects his lack of experience not only with the company policies but the recruitment tasks as well. It is apparent that an inexperienced individual will not be in a position to identify the qualities that make up the desired employee. To heighten the situation, the company assigned this new recruiter a tas
