You are a human resources manager working in a large urban hospital. As a result of ongoing changes in the hiring process at your facility, your director has charged you with preparing a plan for supervisors to use when they recruit, select, appraise, and dismiss healthcare employees.

You must also propose strategies to address those challenges.

Write an analysis of recruitment and selection processes as follows (6-10 pages):

• Describe six challenges (i.e., legal, ethical, moral, and operational) related to recruitment and sixchallenges associated with selection. Include a balance of information on both internal and external challenges, and explain how these challenges impact recruitment and selection.

• Explain the impact of failing to address these challenges on human resources function and hospital performance management.

• Recommend strategic approaches to address the challenges associated with internal and external factors that affect recruitment and selection. Specifically, describe a strategic approach for each factor you identified, and explain how this strategy will help mitigate the potential challenges inflicted by the particular internal or external challenges. Include best practices from other industries (i.e., information technology, hospitality) in your recommendation. Explain how information from other industries can inform recruitment and selection in the healthcare industry.
