The HR department at Fresh Munchables is working hard to recruit and hire candidates for a systems engineer position. Systems engineers have the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that are vital to the success of the organization. Unfortunately, the role of systems engineer is in high demand across the industry, making it more difficult to attract candidates to hire.

What should the HR department do in order to fill this position in a labor-driven market?

• HR should make the total compensation for the role relatively high in order to attract the desired candidates.
• HR should use high-pressure tactics to get candidates to commit to employment.
• HR should do a better job of selling the company's tangible rewards during the recruiting process.
• HR should keep the compensation levels the same and hire a less-qualified candidate because it's often too costly to compete for KSAs.
