...life while generating profit growth. Employment Relationships From a legal prospective the term “staffing” refers to formation of the employment relationships. The employer-employee relationship is a culmination of the person/job matching process. One of the areas of employment relationships that we will be looking to implement will be temporary employees. A temporary employee is an individual typically hired to help a business meet increased short term demand for its product or services that do not have the status of permanent staff. A temporary employee cost less to hire than regular employees, and they can help fill a position temporarily vacated by a staff member that is sick or has taken a leave of absence.

The job analysis can provide companies with the necessary tools to hire new qualify people, and to retain them in the company, which helps to improve the company's growth. Job Analysis Job analysis is a tool manager's companies can use to interviewing, hiring, training, and promoting employees (Kelley, 2002). However, the job analysis has many functions, some of them include measure the employee's performance, reduce the risk of having physical injuries, and determine the qualifications an employee may have to perform certain jobs. In other words, job analysis is necessary to determine the amount of skills, levels, and time frame.

Targeted recruitment approach is one whereby the organization identifies segments in the labor market where qualified candidates are likely to be. (Heneman & Judge, p. 214 2009).

...approaches to recruiting might be best suited for Apple’s talent acquisition? Apple has decided to start producing a product that they previously outsourced to other companies. This decision will ultimately require them to employ more labor and skill in the department making the components. It is obvious that Apple is going to need to hire more power. I suggest that they go about this by starting on the inside. They should first look to internal candidates to move from other departments into the new area. These people are going to already possess the knowledge of the company and have experience too. In addition these employees may be able to provide referrals of their associates for the positions. It is likely that Apple will be able to find a great team among their current labor force. I would also recommend that Apple put together a team of recruiters and go out into the world to look for new and fresh talent. I would start by going to Universities and talking to the technology graduates. These young fresh faces are going to come with a great deal of energy and drive to prove themselves in a company as big as Apple. It may prove to be quite beneficial to the organization to spend a little extra money and get the new ideas, talent and perspectives of the new graduates. I also think that Apple should reach out to those interested in the area of technology by placing advertisements in technology magazines and utilizing their website for electronic recruiting. People who are...

It is responsible for the attraction, selection, training, assessment, and rewarding of employees, while also overseeing organizational leadership and culture and ensuring compliance with employment and labor laws. Nearing the 21st century, advances in transportation and communications greatly facilitated workforce mobility and collaboration. Corporations began viewing employees as assets rather than as cogs in a machine. "Human resources management", consequently, became the dominant term for the function.
