University of Green Hill HR Advisor Recruitment Project, BSBHRM405

This document presents a comprehensive HR Advisor recruitment project undertaken by a student, likely as part of the BSBHRM405 unit at Southern Cross School of Business. The project simulates the recruitment process for an HR Advisor at the University of Green Hill. It begins with an understanding of the university's recruitment policy and workforce strategy, leading to the creation of a detailed position description outlining the role's responsibilities, key responsibilities, and required skills. The project then progresses to developing job advertisements for both internal and external candidates, considering legal and ethical aspects. It includes crafting interview questions designed to assess candidates' suitability, followed by the shortlisting of potential candidates based on their qualifications and experience. The project also involves preparing emails for approvals, scheduling interviews, and providing a rationale for the decisions made throughout the process. The document concludes with a discussion of the interview panel and the final shortlisting of candidates.

Respectfully,

6ASSESSMENT 2
I am writing this email to seek attention for the changing of the job advertisement
process. I have found out some of the potential problems in the advertisements that can make
the advertisements irrelevant and unattractive to the applicants.
Firstly, changes must be made in the internal job advertisement in the part of salary.
The candidates must know the salary offered for this position actually by the university
authority.
Secondly, in internal job advertisement, the mention about salary hike and other
facilities are not mentioned which may attract the internal staff to apply for this position.
Finally the attractiveness of these two job advertisements are lower than expected ad there is
no contact details given.
I am attaching the job advertisements with this email. Regards,
Sincerely,
Jonathan Oslo.

Question 8.
In order to find out the best fitted person for the position of the HR advisor in the
university, it is important to review the background and skills of each of the candidates so
that the most capable for persons can be chosen. from the background details of these five
persons it is clear that very few of them possess the actual skills needed for this position of
HR advisor. Carol Tibbs can be a potential employee in this organisation but she has left the
job in 2002 which is a 17 years gap in her career. in the meantime there has been differences
in the operation of an HR and operations of the organisations have also changed. Bob Falter
despite has a master’s degree in human resources management has become a taxi driver. He
has not applied for or any position in any company. This eliminates him from the requirement
of the position of HR advisor in the company. this is due to the fact that the organisation
needs an experienced HR for this position which Bob does not have.
In the case of Anne Barns her experience as events officer in the human resource
Institute convinces that she can be a worthy candidate for this position. However she was not
the part of human resource department in that company therefore aims to enter into to the
department of this university. She wants an HR focussed which matches the requirement of
the position. she can be a potential candidate for shortlisting.
Reita Faria is the president of Sudan who has shifted to Australia recently. She has
working experience as an HR officer with large Bank. Despite the fact that the industry where
she worked was banking and Finance sector but the organisation for which she has applied
for operates in the education sector of Australia. Moreover the cultural differences can be an
issue to be managed but she also can be a potential candidate for shortlisting. Samiya Johns
has also shifted her place from Brisbane to Sydney which is within the Australian territory.
She also has working experience as the HR officer in the University of Brisbane. She has

10ASSESSMENT 2
working experience of 2 years and moved to Sydney for joining new company. she is an
Australian citizen and possess advanced diploma degree of Human Resource Management.
Therefore Samiya Johns is the most fitted person for this job position.
The short listed candidate’s are-
1. Samiya Johns
2. Reita Faria
3. Anne Barnes
However more information about these three candidates will be sought so that the
best person gets the job.

Question 9.
To,
The Human Resources Officer,
University of Green Hill
Respectfully,
I would like to share my understanding of the shortlisting process and the candidates’
names for the position of HR Advisor in the university. I have shortlisted 3 persons from the
file chosen candidates. they are Samiya Johns, Reita Faria and Anne Barnes. All of these
three candidates are potential to become an HR advisor in the university and they will be
serving the department at their best. The first preference will be given to Samiya Johns
because she has 2 years of experience in working in the University of Sydney. Therefore she
knows all the processes of human resource in the education sector. the difference of Human
Resource Department in different industries are different therefore Reita Faria and Anne
Barnes are given priorities. Reita has directly served as an HR in a large Bank of Sudan but
do not possess the knowledge about how the HR department operates in the universities.
Anne however does not have direct connection with nature department but experience of
working as event manager for which she is given the least priority among the three.
I hope you will look into the matter and share your valuable advice.
Regards,
Sincerely,
Jonathan Oslo.
