HR CHALLENGE: A DIFFICULT POSITION TO FILL
Assignment Introduction
Scenario
For this assignment, assume you are an HR professional working as an HR business partner for one of the most prestigious nonprofit scientific research centers in the United States. The center is large enough to have its own office of general counsel. Recently, one of the assistant general counsels departed for a job at the White House. The general counsel wants the finest and most talented attorney candidates who are practicing in the field of research in a nonprofit setting.
You have announced the open position and have had 807 applicants. You chose a group of 12 candidates, all of whom were turned down by the supervisor . The general counsel’s office demanded to see all applicant resumes, and your HR director agreed. After they reviewed all the resumes, they said none were good enough. However, they provided no additional information to you about their preferred applicant qualifications.
