Part 1:
The applicant has full right to ask for more money for accepting the job since the assessment of
the applicant has the worth to the new company which is more than what is assessed by the
manager. The manager’s frustration is his or her ability for anticipating the development in
progress which is now making traumatic circumstances for the manager. The manager has an
objective to gather which is to fill up position for the applicant's post within predetermined date
and fixed budget. But the manager needs to make the calm decision that will help the
organization to achieve the goals as his frustration will negatively impact the organization and
this will not lead organization anywhere.( Gatewood, R,2015)
They have to set the salary that is near to his expectations and which is suitable for them also as
the employee’s acts as an asset for a company may be he or she can lead to the success of an
organization. As due to salary or the other reasons for the growth only there is no retention in the
companies due to which the employees shift from one company to another. (Valcik, N. A.,2017)
Part 2:
Outsourcing the recruitment is like outsourcing the other function that is not essential for the
other lines of business as it has its own pros and cons. It is right that by outsourcing it saves
times but as a disadvantage, its use to add up the dollar cost and the personal involvement is
being lost in the process of outsourcing. There are two types of outsourcing agencies i.e. public
and private employment services.
