Identifying issues
Various types of issues are faced by the HRM department of the company while selecting

being faced by the FarmBox company are as follows:

candidates who can perform the function in their company (Phillips, 2020). As they have
not that much effective HRM department who can critically analyse the ability of the
individuals while selecting them for the particular job.
 At the time of COVID-19, company faces huge traffic on their online platforms in order
to purchase the food products. But at that time company were unable to satisfy the needs
of the customers as they don't have enough employees who can carry out the operations.
For that purpose they hire the new employees in the company in a very short time without
seeing the capability of them. After that company faces that the employees are not able to
do the work for long hours. This was one of the main issue for the company.
