Instruction
• Describe the fictional company you will be recruiting for:
o How many employees do they have?
o How long have they been in business?
o What are the company’s strategic goals?
It may not make much sense to you to come up with these fictional “facts,” but recruiting efforts should always reflect the strategic direction of an organization; if not, you may not find the right individual for the job.)
• Formal written job description and job specification for your assigned position.
o You are required to write your own job description, but the websites listed below can provide you with some information to use. There are probably plenty of other sites out there with this type of information, but these are some of the most well-known and are very user-friendly:
http://online.onetcenter.org/
http://stats.bls.gov/oco/
http://www.acinet.org/acinet/occ_intro.asp?id=1,&nodeid=1
Again, these sites are for reference only, and you must write your own formal job description.
• Salary range for the job, and any special factors that impact what you would pay for the job.
• Information on your locale. This includes, but is not limited to:
o economic conditions
o demographic information and how that impacts your job opening
o educational facilities nearby (appropriate to what you are recruiting for)
o factors that impact the attractiveness of your geographic location to potential recruits.
o Any local professional societies which would be relevant.
