This is a group activity. For more information on groups, please see About Group Work.
For this discussion, you will focus on talent acquisition and walk through a scenario on sourcing, recruitment, and selection in a labor market with talent shortages. You will work with a small group of your classmates to identify talent acquisition strategies and to provide your set of recommendations based upon a collaborative group discussion.
First, review this module’s required resources. In your initial post to the small group discussion, address the following:
How does knowledge of labor market information assist HR professionals in developing a quality staffing plan?
From an external sourcing perspective, which HR initiatives and strategies are effective approaches to filling key positions in a labor market with talent shortages?
From an internal sourcing perspective, which HR initiatives and strategies are effective approaches to filling key positions in a labor market with talent shortages?
Refer to the chapter readings, the SHRM resources, and to the Harvard Business Review article to support your responses.
Note: You are required to present one initial post and two response posts to your group members. In responding to your group members, one response post should summarize your understanding of the group’s initial posts and should provide your final recommendations for talent acquisition strategies based upon the collaborative discussion. Use your reading resources and information from your group members’ posts to support your recommendations.
