Tanglewood Case 3
Case Description/Introduction
I will analyzed the information from the recruiting data and will prepare a report with the best recruiting strategy to fill up a job vacancy for a store associate at Tanglewood store. Also I will use the organizational data to determine the best methods for recruiting new staff. And finally I will develop various forms of recruitment messages to encourage individuals to apply for a new job position.
“Recruitment is the process of attracting individuals on a timely basis, in sufficient numbers, and with appropriate qualifications, and encouraging them to apply for jobs with an organization.” (Mondy and Noe, 2005 page 221)

Western Washington uses a variety of recruiting methods. The primary methods of recruiting are referrals from current employees.
2. The Eastern Washington uses more traditional media advertising.
3. The recruiting methods of the Northern Oregon division fall into three major categories. The main methods are media and in-store kiosks. This division has also used staffing agencies lately. The division explicitly rejects the use of employee referrals, claiming that the use of signing bonuses leads to the hiring of unqualified individuals who are selected without sufficient qualifications due to favoritism.
4. The innovative character of Southern Oregon is reflected in their recruiting practices. They have relied primarily on a combination of staffing agencies, referrals, and kiosk advertising. All three of these methods were first tried in this region.
Northern Oregon’s suggestion for other divisions
Northern Oregon suggestions for other divisions are to adopt a less “touchy-feely” hiring practices and suggests only using kiosk and agency provided applicants but looking at the table 2.1 “Estimated costs for recruiting methods” we cannot support this proposed method because is to expensive compared it to the other ones. As we know job agency practices have a big advantage on retention rates and lower costs compared to kiosk and media recruiting but in my opinion this method should be considered for the other regions that were not presently
Recruitment can incur a very large cost to an employer, therefore, organizations try to uses the method of recruitment which will have the lowest cost impact to the organization for each candidate.
Mr. Killingsworth discussed some of the recruitment strategies used by District 11 to recruit and hire a diverse group who are focused on student achievement, no matter what position they are hired for. His goal during recruitment is to find the candidates that fit the descriptions of what his principals need. Some of the recruitment strategies used by District 11 include: school websites, Facebook, and branding. Branding is use of the district logo so candidates know who they are when you see their logo. At job fairs his job is to meet, greet and brand. LinkedIn is one of the target groups District 11 uses for passive candidates. When marketing for a particular school Mr. Killingsworth reminds administrators to always shed a positive light on their school.
Recruitment: It is the process of identifying and attempting to attract candidate who are capable of filling job vacancies appropriately (Kathryn M. Bartol and David C. Martin, 1988)
Once the analysis and job description for a job is complete, the next step would be to identify recruiting method to use in selecting candidates. Since recruiting is the first stage in the hiring process, it is important to attract qualified people who have the skills and experience the job demands. To do this, I will suggest that recruitment be done through job fairs and advertising.
Northern Oregon also uses Media recruitment; applicants are 2686, Kiosk 3896, and Agency Recruitment 1290. The overall rate is Media at 41%, Kiosk at 43% and Agency of 48%. Cost per set up; Media at $10,000, Kiosk at $40,000 and Agency of $50,000.

Western Washington uses four different types of recruiting methods; media, referrals, kiosks, and job service to recruit employees. Referrals cost western Washington the most money however, they are Western Washington’s most important method of recruiting. This is the strongest method of recruiting for Tanglewood for two reasons. The first reason is that it is Western Washington’s number one source of hired applicants. The second is that it has a very high percentage of applicants who are still with the company after
I agree with the Northern Oregon. If everyone were to pursue the same hiring methods it would bridge them together more successfully as an organization. Also the kiosk is easily accessible to the individuals that may not have access to a computer in their residence. Also staffing agencies can also he Tanglewood reach a more diverse group of people. They will most likely find individuals that have the qualifying KSAO’s they are interested in performing the job. The other benefits of hiring externally, is the company has the

Kiosk has a total cost of $2,748,896.00 with a total number of applicants being 3986, candidates 1110, hired 656, 6 month retention 342, and 1 year retention 436.

By evaluating Tanglewood’s recruiting methods and creating a guide for it to adhere by, this company can develop a recruiting service that matches their unique company culture.
As former Director of Marketing for Monster.com, I am very familiar with the benefits and pitfalls of high-volume/high-quality recruiting. If I were conducting the extensive recruitment that the Borgata required, I would have done exactly the same thing and relied on outside expertise and technology to attain recruitment goals. As John Schadler of Hotel and Motel Management states: “Instead of the traditional recruitment effort (the standard black and while, all-text ad in Sunday’s classified section), hotels and resorts are using colorful full-page ads in lifestyle magazines, witty dialogue in radio advertising and dramatic visuals on outdoor billboards to attract the “best
On the contrary, candidates are on constant search of good organizations which offer better employment opportunities. Recruitment acts as an intermediate activity between organizations offering employment and candidates seeking employment opportunities. In abstract sense, the concept of recruitment is related to discovery of recruitment sources for selecting prospective employees. If recruitment procedure is followed in a scientific
Northwest State should open recruiting to job fairs, internet job boards, their college website and classrooms. They should also offer a quicker turn around time for staffing with a competitive salary/benefit package.
Recruiting is the process of creating interest abut open positions in an organization and qualified candidates who possess the necessary qualifications to successfully fill them (Reed & Bogardus, 2012). The recruiting process is an ongoing strategy that should be conducted when there are little to no open positions available. Before the creation of internet job boards, the best option for filling open jobs would be to post an advertisement in the local newspaper. Internet job recruiting is growing in popularity because it can be fast and efficient and it is also more cost effective.
In recruitment, information is collected from interested candidates. For this different source such as newspaper advertisement, employment exchanges, internal promotion, etc.are used.
