• Case: Recruiting for Temporary Positions:

Your company has been instructed by a customer (or client) to augment your product (or service) for the next quarter's production. No additional units are to be produced but you need to do the work to their specific instructions. This will require the addition of 50 part-time employees for only one quarter. The cost will not be charged against your budget but against the operations department budget. Your only responsibility is to recommend which method to use to fulfill this temporary need. Select your response from the methods listed below:

1. Allow current employees to recruit.
2. Employ homeless workers for the task.
3. Ask for volunteers from current employees to work overtime.
4. Use workers from a temporary services company.
5. Lease employees from an employee leasing company.
