Determining Criteria for Selection: Examine the job description provided in Exhibit $1.$ Based

on this information and what you know about the plant conditions described in the background,

make a list of the knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics $($KSAO$$s$)$ that you

consider $$must haves$$ for this position $($in other words, those KSAO$$s that the candidate

absolutely must have in order to qualify for this position$)$ and then make a second list of those

KSAO$$s that you would like the candidate to possess $($but are not absolutely necessary for

hiring$).$ Provide a brief written rationale for your lists.

$2.$ Critique Our Selection Tools: Examine the information provided in Exhibit $2-6.$ Create a

table that lists each of the tests we use, whether you would use it or not, and a brief written

rationale describing why you believe the information is either usable or not usable in making

the selection decision. Then provide us with some recommendations for how the process

should be changed when hiring plant managers in the future $($e$.$g$.,$ what additional selection

devices should be used, additional information gathered, sources to drop or change, people

involved in the selection decision making process$)?$ Also, we know our interview process is

problematic. Please provide us with some recommendations to improve the process.

$3.$ Make a Selection Decision: Make a recommendation as to which candidate we should hire

using one of the methods discussed in class $($e$.$g$.,$ multiple hurdles, compensatory approach,

or one of the other approaches discussed.$)$ Provide an in$-$depth discussion of the process used

to make this decision, how it was applied, and why you used this process. Be sure to explain

any assumptions such as what weights were applied to the various criteria, etc.
