答案Question 3 / Proposal To: Ms Cartwright From: Jeremy Dunne Date: 24 May Subject: Staff recruitment Background At present staff recruitment depends entirely on advertising in the local newspaper. This is expensive, and generates very few applications. In several cases no appointment has been made because of the applicants’ unsuitability. Proposal As existing staff are familiar with the work and with the type of people required, they are well placed to recruit new workers among people they know. As an incentive, anyone who introduces a person who is appointed - either at that time or to a subsequent vacancy - could be given some reward, possibly financial. This is likely to lead to more successful recruitment, and as a by- product may give existing staff a greater sense of responsibility for the company. Further, if employees have friends and relations working in the same place, they are likely to get increased job satisfaction. Introduction of procedure The idea could be explained at a general meeting of the workforce, so that any questions can be dealt with there and then. A written outline of the procedure could then be displayed on noticeboards. It would be worth introducing this system when there are vacancies to be filled, so that it gets off the ground immediately Possible disadvantage There is a risk of iii feeling if a staff member introduces someone whose application is unsuccessful. If it is made clear that appointments cannot be taken for granted, I feel that this danger would not outweigh the advantages of the scheme.
