What are they discussing?

W: Sean just told me that the new accountant we hired is going to come aboard starting tomorrow.(65)Where will he sit?
M: I was going to put him next to John at first, but he will be working closer with Janice,(66)so I placed him between her and Ron.
W: That’s good. I’ll bet Janice is going to be really happy to have some of her work taken off her hands by this new guy. By the way, does this new guy have a name?
M: Yeah, his name is Henry Kim.(67)He is a recent graduate student of George Brown College, and he was recommended to us by Lisa Cunningham.(67)
