WGU D354 Task 3: Talent Acquisition with Complete Solutions
Interview Approach
A1: Two Advantages of using a structured Screening process include efficiency
and consistency. A structured Screening lets you to hire the best candidates
while also minimize hiring costs and streamlining hiring new Staffs.
Predefined questions gives for consistent examine where each candidate has
equal chance to answer each question to the best of their knowledge . Asking
job-related questions to all candidates will help rule out the ones that do not
meet the requirements for the senior programmer role. Being efficient and
consistent allows for fair hiring and making sure each applicant is being
compared equally.
A2: “How would you move forward on a project if a team member disagreed
with your plan?”
• A2-A: This question allows the interviewer to assess how well the
applicant can handle disagreements and see if they are willing and/or
able to compromise. This will reveal their conflict management
approach and show if they’re a good fit for the role. Asking this
question will also help determine if they’re a good fit for not only the
role, but also for the team they will be working with. Having a Senior
Computer Programmer with a strong opinion is great, but being able
to resolve conflicts is important to have an effective team.
Selection Plan
B1: I would recommend a work sample test.
• B1-A: A work sample test will allow the interviewer to see how the
candidate completes tasks related to the role they are interviewing
for. This will also give the interviewee an opportunity to see what they
may be working on if they were to get the role. This would be a
practical way to evaluate the interviewees’ skills, knowledge, and
experience. I would do this by giving them a coding task or other job-
related task.
B2: I would recommend a technical skills assessment.
• B2-A: A technical skills assessment will allow the interviewee to
showcase their abilities and let the interviewer know that they can
handle tasks and responsibilities for their respective position. Being
able to evaluate their problem-solving skills and practical coding skills
will be detrimental in determining if a person is the right fit for the
