1. STRATEGIC STAFFING AT CHERN’S: A CASE STUDY
Chapter 5: Conduct a transition analysis. Summarize the internal labor market and highlight
any trends or forecast gaps. Based on the transition probability matrix, calculate how many
new full-time sales associates should be hired externally. Calculate the number of applicants
needed to acquire the number of new hires you forecast. Use multiple sources of data to
describe the current and future labor market for retail salespeople. If you forecast a gap,
determine whether the gap is temporary or permanent. Make some recommendations to
address the gap. Chapter 6 Rank order the recruiting sources based on their ability to
maximize the company’s staffing goals. Provide recommendations on how the Internet
might be more effectively used to source and recruit applicants. Conduct a Boolean search
to source two promising applicants using the Internet. Include the search engines and exact
Boolean commands used. Provide information about your two leads in an appendix. Justify
each recommendation. Determine how Chern’s can improve the diversity of its applicant
pool.#STRATEGIC #STAFFING #CHERNS #CASE #STUDY
