Assessment 2
Your task:
PART A – Planning the recruitment and selection process
Following a restructure of the Food and Beverage services provided by the Imagine Hotel, an audit has identified
that there is a shortage of staff to deliver the quality of service expected from an operation at this level. As a
result, in your position as the Human Resources Manager, you are required to recruit, select and induct staff for
three additional new food and beverage positions, and a volunteer to support events and seminar. The
recruitment needs to include consultation with relevant colleagues like the Food and Beverage Manager, the
Head Chef, the Events manager and the Hotel Manager. You have already obtained approval for recruitment as
per your organisational recruitment policies from the head office in relation to these positions.
The 4 positions are as follows:
a. Chef de Partie Room Service Kitchen, 11.00pm – 7.30am night shift (full-time position)
b. Room Service Attendant, breakfast shift (casual position 2 days per weekend)
c. Restaurant Manager, breakfast shift (part-time position 20 hours per week)
d. Volunteer, event and seminar support (Thursday and Friday 10 hours per week)In order to get recruitment processes organised you are required to develop the following documentation and
processes:
1. Establish the job descriptions for each position based on feedback from colleagues in each department, and
develop a set of selection criteria for each position which must include expected levels of experience and the
customer service attitude required to work at Ocean Breeze. To assist you in creating job descriptions you
may use the following links as a reference for positions a-c :

Course Code and Name: SIT60316 Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management
Unit Code: SITXHRM004
Unit Title: Recruit, select and induct staff
    Assessment 1
Your Task: Answer the following questions. Each question must be completed.
Question 1
List 5 business events that would require you to recruit new staff:
1. Technical Up gradation: When a business is upgrading its technology, it may recruit new staff with particular technical skills.
2. Expansion or Launch of New Products: When the business is expanding its offices, it needs staff in the new location.
3. High Staff Turnover: When the skilled and experienced employees switch to better paying jobs in other companies, the businesses recruit new staff to replace those people who leave due to job switch or retirement.
4. Low Business Profits: The businesses may seek better skilled and talented employees (the right staff with the right skills) to achieve faster business growth and gain competitive advantage.
5. Establish New Market: Regional and local professionals may be hired to establish rapport and attract local public. They can communicate in
their local language and may better satisfy the customer requirements (BBC, 2019).
Question 2
What is the primary factor in determining staffing needs?
Staff Planning is a primary factor to analyze and identify the staffing needs. The needs can be determined by evaluating the business flow, understanding the customer response, identifying the competitor’s as benchmarks and discussing with the managers (Berkeley Human Resources, 2019).
Question 3
Why should you regularly discuss workload considerations with your staff?
The staff members struggling to manage their workload often show poor performance (Accipio, 2018). By discussing the workload considerations we can instill positivity, developing a sense of responsibility, can motivate them to manage their time. We can help them focus on their priorities and thus may reduce their workload in stress.
Question 4
List 3 pieces of information you may need to supply to management when making a written submission for approval of a new position.
1. Determining the need for the new position
2. Employer’s benefit or (solution that the new position will offer)
3. Your qualifications (Ashe-Admunds, 2019)
Question 5
List 6 pieces of information a job description should contain.
1. Title of Job
2. Main Duties
3. Role
4.Location
5.Remuneration
6. Details about the business (Atom content Marketing, 2019)
Question 6
Why is customer service attitude and experience an important part of the selection criteria for TH&E positions?
Customer service attitude and experience provides in depth knowledge of the products and the expertise, willingness to learn, conflict handling skills, problem solving potential and ability to empathize. The attitude develops effective communication skills. Appropriate attitude can transform the negative customer experience into positive one and wins the customers instead of just doing their duties.
Question 7
How do well written selection criteria help the selection process?
Selection Criteria involves the attributes, skills, qualification and the knowledge considered as essential by the employer, to satisfy the job requirements (University of Melbourne, 2019).
For any job position, the selection panel assesses each interviewee with their capacity to meet the requirements along with the selection criteria. The candidate needs to show in his application, covering letter and resume that the qualities possessed by the person are suitable to apply for the position. Before addressing the selection criteria, the applicant should read each criteria properly, and highlight the keywords (Such as effective communication skills or writing ability). For every criteria, the person should write his abilities, skills, experience and training. Applicant may include specific examples where he has used his skills and abilities. For example: Activity, Behavior and consequences. Applicant should mention his special achievements.
The format and layout of the covering letter and resume should also be effective and easier to read for the selection panel. Other than the work experience and qualification, several selection criteria may be considered common for most of the job positions. For example: Initiative, Independence, verbal and interpersonal communication, experience of software and experience of policies and procedures.
The selection panel uses all this information mentioned in the resume and the application for the job, to identify how better the applicant satisfies the criteria for the new post.
Question 8
When advertising for staff, there are several legal matters that you must be aware of. List at least 5:
1. We should not publish the advertisements which give preference to certain color, race, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender or any kind of discrimination.
2. Interview should not include discrimination in employment provisions. The job requirements should provide all the employees an equal chance to apply.
3. The job advertisement should not support discrimination in wages on the basis of gender. Discrimination in wages may be on the basis of experience, qualification, skills and seniority.
4. While checking the references, we should not ask questions that are illegal at any stage of the process of recruitment. For example: We cannot ask his former employer about how many leaves he took last year. Instead we can ask whether they are punctual and reliable.
5. There are certain laws for specific professions, for example hiring of law students is managed by the National Association for Law Placement (NALP) and falls under National Labor Relations Act. We should be aware of such laws and legal mechanisms in place (Kellman, 2014).
Question 9
How can an application form help you process applications more quickly?
Instead of asking the applicants to fill the whole Application Form in one go, we can structure the process of application into multiple stages (Deren, 2019). In each stage the applicant should be asked only the information required to make decision about if the applicant is eligible to proceed to next level. Smart online application forms may allow the applicants to skip the parts they consider inapplicable. Online Application forms with branching logic may hide or show some part of application dynamically on the basis of previously answered questions. The applicants also can save their in-process applications.
