Imagine that you are working as Director of Human Resources in a privately held, mid-sized engineering and manufacturing organization that is a government contractor. Your boss, the VP of HR, has asked you to:

Prepare a brief but comprehensive plan (4-5 pages) in which you pull together and integrate the organization's recruitment, selection, and onboarding processes. Your plan must effectively cover the range of the organization's needs and issues related to finding, attracting, and successfully hiring and onboarding:

Engineers
Skilled labor
Production and facilities workers

Challenges: Your facilities are located in a city that has a larger than average percentage of people who are receiving various forms of public assistance. The city also has a lower than average number of college graduates and professionals, due to flight from the region to high tech hubs in the Northeast and Southwestern United States.
