IntroductionIn this current paper, a discussion is made here regarding the manner in which efficient policy of screening must be adopted for hiring a position for a department manager in the Tanglewood store. The current paper discusses the case, where the process of assessing selection method initiated by Marilyn Gonzalez is not only limited to store associates, but it also covers department managers, assistant store managers, and store managers. The controversy related to the selection methods is that they seem to be adequately fit for hiring entry level employees, but not ideally fit for hiring the position for the department managers. After analyzing the case, a conclusion is drawn that there is a dire need to develop an efficient selection plan and a structured interview for the Department Manager position. Question 1. Develop a detailed selection plan for the position of a department manager to determine the most important KSAOs for this position.Answer – A detailed selection plan for the position of a department manager involves adopting rigorous methods of employment testing and comprehensive staffing model to aid in the desired selection process (Gatewood et al., 2015). The rigorous methods of employment testing and comprehensive staffing model provide the most important ways to determine the most important KSAOs for this position. KSAO is an abbreviated form of Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, and is also referred to as Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics (KSAOs). These are attributes required for selecting and identifying the best-qualified candidate for certain vacancies.To qualify for a position, an individual must meet two types of factors such as Selective Factors and Quality Ranking Factors (Sanghi, 2016).
The detailed selection plan involving employment testing and comprehensive staffing model at this moment analyzes the in-depth competencies of department manager in Problem Solving and Analytical Ability; Planning and Organizing; Decisiveness; Judgment; Communication Skill; Interpersonal Skill; Direction and Motivation; Supervisory Role Performance; Specialty Competence; Organizational Knowledge; and Leadership. The selection plan enables to determine KSAOs while conducting an interview for the department manager by enabling the HR or any authoritative person to be in a good position to decide the best-qualified applicant for targeted positions (Armstrong and Taylor, 2014). Problem Solving and Analytical Ability – It evaluates the applicant's ability to identify possible causes of the problems, and based on that determine the best-qualified applicant for a position.Planning and Organizing – It evaluates the applicant's ability to identify his/her course of action while dealing with evaluating criteria and tracking systems for monitoring goal progress and accomplishment.Decisiveness - It evaluates the decision-making ability of an applicant involving how an action on difficult or unpleasant tasks must proceed in a timely fashion.Judgment - It evaluates the applicant’s ability to develop and evaluate substitutive courses of action that requires making decisions based on correct assumptions concerning resources and guidelines.Communication Skill - It evaluates the applicant’s ability onto which manner he/she presents andexpresses ideas and information effectively and concisely in an oral and/or written mode to the target audience (Putta, 2014).
