RECRUITEMENT READINESS CASE STUDY:
Instruction: Read and analyze the scenario. Critically review and assess the situation and the recruitment practice.
Wilson is opening a new warehouse in Dubai to support its six sports retail outlets in the UAE. The company already has warehouses at two UAE sites, but aggressive expansion plans have seen 12 new stores opening the last 3 years. Dave Abraham is part of Wilson’s head office HR team and has been tasked with managing the recruitment for the warehouse, which is due to open in 6 months. Based on the existing warehouse staffing structure, a number of different job roles have been identified:
• Warehouse Supervisor
• Shift Supervisor
• Warehouse Manager
• Staff Canteen Supervisor
• Staff Canteen Assistant
Dave has typically dealt with recruitment to management positions both at the head office and the stores and has been very successful in attracting applicants using the company website.
Yet one month to go before the warehouse is due to be up and running, there are still 37 vacancies for warehouse operatives as well as two canteen assistants.

• Developinga recruiting strategy is paramount to our hiring efforts. But without a united effort among our recruiters, both our hiring and retention efforts are liable to suffer.
• by Consider tying aspects of recruiter compensation or bonuses to performance. If you opt to tie compensation to performance, try including metrics such as attrition and fill rate
• I would Carefully determine each role on the recruiting team and hire specifically to that role. While some junior recruiters might be able to handle filling positions with an abundance of applicants, positions requiring candidates with a more refined set of skills – like developers
• Focus on Internet Based Recruiting and Employee Referrals, Many of the most effective recruiting strategies are those in which recruiters take a step back and look at their efforts through the eyes of a marketer
• The most important Sources Provide the Best Candidates, now in modern days such as linkedin is high performers come job boards,also tend to come from career sites like Indeed.com by applying all of above points Dave might had success.
