Complete the case study entitled Values-Based Approach to Candidate Selection: One Hiring Manager's Approach, By Jane Dutton and Lindsay Reed published by Harvard Business Publishing.

Question 1

Case overview: summarize the case and identify the key issues at hand. This should not be a retelling of the case but a summary that presents an overview, analyzes the case, and identifies relevant HR practices and key issues. In your answer consider class material including strategic HRM, talent acquisition, and impact of selection on organizational culture.

Question 2

The case ends with "How should Lindsay respond?"

Based on your reading of the case, identify the key themes that should inform Lindsay's answer (consider how you see the organizational values affecting the selection process), then answer the question "how should Lindsay respond?"

Question 3

In order to create a values-based hiring process, would LinkedIn have implemented a task-based (i.e. traditional) job analysis or a competency-based job analysis? Explain.

Question 4

Consider our talent acquisition module and focus on measurement in selection: what qualities should the used interview question have? How would you validate the interview question?
