The current job opening was a new position at Big Time that was necessitated by an increased workload. Although some internal people wanted to apply for the job, Cavanaugh believed that no internal candidates had the necessary skills for the position: besides, she thought it would be good to bring in new blood at the top. She found one strong rsum and began the hiring process. In considering Jason Hubbs's rsume, Cavanaugh noted that Hubbs had a computer science degree, was working toward a Doctoral degree, and had three yvears\" experience as a technical writer in a local high-tech firm. Cavanaugh was impressed with Hubbs's credentials and scheduled an interview date. Cavanaugh included herself, the technical editor and the two senior writers on Hubbs's interview schedule. Cavanaugh's interview was general, focusing on background, goals and work habits. Hamrick, the technical editor, asked questions regarding writing skills and techniques, while Samson and Murray, the senior writers, focused on Hubbs's technical skills. Cavanaugh then met with the interviewers to determine if Hubbs was qualified for the senior technical writer job. Cavanaugh was pleased with Hubbs's responses to her general questions and liked the writing samples he had given her. Hamrick felt that Hubbs had answered the interview guestions well but had reservations about his interpersonal skills and ability to integrate into the department. He also had some concerns about one of the writing samples. Samson and Murray thought his technical skills were excellent and had no strong feelings either way about his interpersonal skills. Cavanaugh, Samson, and Murray all felt that Hubbs should be hired; Hamrick disagreed. Cavanaugh checked two of Hubbs's three references and got good reports on his skills and work habits. She hired him. \fAnswer the following: 1. A) Evaluate the recruiting strategy and methods used by the hiring manager and identify and discuss any gaps or limitations.
