...ABC, Inc.’s new campus recruiter Carl Robins has found himself to have over looked some important details of his new hires orientation. If he can’t resolve these issues in a timely manner, Carl will not be able to hold orientation June15, like Monica wants. The deadline is closing in and there are some problems that need quick solving, since Carl is new to his position, he is still worried that he may not have the answers to fix the issues at hand. Seems Carl may not have been as organized as he could have been and necessary key aspects are missing. He finds himself frustrated and knows there is very little time to get these things done. Staying focused and calm, while being pro-active will make finding the solutions that much easier. Finding the problems is going to be his first step in resolving these issues. With any problem there is the ability to use your knowledge and problem solving skills to get things done. Carl needs to find the most important issues and work to resolve them fast while staying focused. There are still two weeks left before the new hires are set to arrive. Carl needs to focus on the issues of getting the completed applications for all of the new trainees, get transcripts on file and trainees need to take their required drug testing. Carl also has three training manuals, with several pages missing from them, and the training room was booked by Joe, from technology services, so that he could do computer training seminars for the month, on the day and...

He worked with Monica to determine the start date of June 15. This is the day the new employees will begin and when orientation week will begin.

...Case Study Analysis - Prepared for ABC, Inc. Laurie Cavagnaro University of Phoenix: COMM 215 February 17, 2014 Case Study Analysis for ABC, Inc. Introduction The following is a case study analysis of the orientation and hiring processes at ABC, Inc. The new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., Carl Robbins, was unable to plan, organize, and execute the employee orientation necessary for the 15 new trainees that were to begin working for Monica Carolls in July. Some of the problems that arose for Carl were due to poor communication and lack of attention to detail. There was also poor management skills involved. It is possible that Carl Robbins does not have the qualifications or skills that are required to be employed as a campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., or it is also possible that ABC, Inc., did not provide Carl with the proper training during his orientation. There also seems to be a lack of guidance and support for new hires that may be needed during the first few months of employment. Improvements need to be made to the orientation and training programs for all new employees at ABC, Inc. Background ABC, Inc. recently hired Carl Robbins as a new campus recruiter. Carl has been with the company for about six months. His first task as a campus recruiter was to hire 15 new trainees to work for Monica Carrolls, the operations supervisor.

...David Khal Case Study Student Analysis Introduction From the information that has been obtained from the Case Study Analysis about the recent Recruitment effort at ABC Inc., I have determined that there is a lack of communication, prior planning, and follow up resulted in a failure to accomplish all the tasks necessary to hire the new employees in a timely fashion. This case Study is an attempt to identify and recommend ways to improve this process. The new campus recruiter for ABC Inc., Carl Robins has displayed poor planning, execution, and follow through with his first recruitment effort. After only six months of experience with the company, Carl hired 15 trainees. Some of Carl’s responsibilities for the new trainees was to; facilitate the new hire applications, plan a training schedule, organize the orientation, put together the necessary documents, arrange for drug tests, and other necessities in the normal recruiting process. Over a month had elapsed, before Carl realized that most of the new hires had incomplete or had not filed their applications, and all of the new hires had not been sent in for the mandatory drug screening. With a mere two weeks to pull everything together, and with few possible and viable solutions, I have determined the best way to work around the problem is for Carl to take action himself and call each new hire individually. By doing this, he can communicate the missing components of their application and make sure to have the new hires bring...

...situation may have been alleviated by instituting a thorough supervision and mentoring program by ABC, Inc. to coach and counsel their employees. Background Carl Robins, a new recruiter for ABC, Inc. with only six months experience, successfully hired 15 new employees. Carl scheduled a new hire orientation to take place June 15 with the intent of having all the new hires working by July. On May 15, Monica Carrolls, the Operation Supervisor, contacted Carl about coordinating new hire issues such as manuals, drug tests, and policy booklets. Carl found while reviewing the new trainee files that several problems are present. Some of the applications were incomplete, drug screening was not complete, and orientation manuals were incomplete or missing pages.

(University of Phoenix, 2006) Key Problems Three problems are readily apparent; employee applications are incomplete or missing data, three training manuals are currently on hand with 15 needed and the training room is reserved for the month of June. Without further investigation, root-cause analysis is mere speculation. Based on the facts presented in the case study, this author has determined several root-cause factors, which may have contributed to this calamity. These root causes stem from two sources, Carl Robins and ABC, Inc. Carl could have overstated his qualifications prior to hiring upon which a hiring decision...
