Ashlyn works as an HR recruitment director for Clearwater Electronics, which is merging with
another company, Laramie Peak Electric. The companies anticipate there will be excess
employees as a result of the merger, creating a large pool of highly qualified individuals. With
this in mind, Ashlyn and her team should do which of the following as they work to fill positions
in the new organization?☑️Correct Ans-The recruiting team should closely tie their recruiting
to HR planning and selection.
Over the last two years, Clearwater Electronics has been unable to recruit sufficient new talent to
the organization. In the past, the HR recruiters have concentrated on external sources such as
websites, employment agencies, newspaper ads, and educational institutions for their recruitment
efforts. However, three months ago, the recruiters added an Employee Referral Program
(ERP)—where current employees refer people they know for positions—to their recruiting
activities and have seen an increase of potentially qualified applicants. Which reason best
explains why this low-cost-per-hire method has produced results for the company?☑️Correct
Ans-A current employee understands job requirements and company culture and can tell people
whom they feel will be a good fit what the job really requires.
Gavin, an assistant HR manager at Clearwater Electronics was assigned to develop a weighted
application blank (WAB) to replace the traditional application that has been used for decades
when hiring production employees. With the help of several line managers, Gavin has identified
job application questions that predict desired employee behaviors and outcomes and has
weighted the criteria based on importance. How will the company benefit from the use of this
selection tool?☑️Correct Ans-A WAB will allow the company to rapidly screen many
candidates for specific production jobs and determine which ones are likely to stay with the
company.
For a quarterly review of the HR department, the HR director at Clearwater Electronics must
demonstrate the consistency of a skills test administered to new employees. The HR director
plans on using the split-half reliability method—where questions are split in half and two scores
are computed for each person—to determine the internal consistency of the skills test. Why is
using this method a good idea?☑️Correct Ans-The split-half reliability method allows two
scores to be correlated, and a high correlation demonstrates that test questions are internally
consistent.
