Please Read Instructions First: This assignment for discussions questions "does not" require APA style. I have to post to discussion board for an online class. I attached an "example format for discussion questions" so you can see how the discussions questions should be formatted and answered. All work should be original with no plagiarism and in proper English grammar. The responses should include answering the main discussion questions, fully, including proper cites as well. If you use citations, I should be able to look it up online to find where you got it from. (USE ALL AMERICAN PUBLICATIONS, CITATIONS AND RESOURCES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT!) The professor requires that the questions be restated and then answered for the discussion questions. I highlighted the questions in "red, bold, italic and underlined" so you would know exactly which ones to restate and answer. If this is not done, it is his option to deduct formatting points and I could get a "0" for the work. The more in-depth the information is, the better, as long as you fully answer each set of discussions questions. Discussion Questions Set 1 should be about two pages including restating the questions. Discussion Questions Set 2 should be about two pages including restating the questions.

Class, what other concepts would you like to see added to the class? I am attaching the SHRM competency model, do you feel that the class, and your studies so far, have prepared you for the competencies that SHRM has identified?

Create a list of three best practices recruiters should use when screening potential candidates for a HR management position. Justify your selections.

Create a new best practice for HR management based on the information that you learned in this course.

Class, I completely agree with the comments regarding HR needing to establish itself as a strategic partner.

My question to you is this, based on the information you have garnished in the class how would you propose to get yourself a "seat at the table" as a strategic partner?
