Instructions:

Develop a 6-page business report on a recruiting plan strategy for HR management and organizational leaders for the expansion of Fleet, Farm and Home (FFH).

Introduction:

View the FFH – Setting the Stage multimedia to help select a new FFH location and to recommend a recruiting plan strategy to support this organization’s expansion. Consider the following:

• -A primary concern about each of the following locations under consideration is the availability of qualified applicants:
  • +Ottumwa, Iowa.
  • +Ottawa, Illinois.
  • +Grand Island, Nebraska.

Use similar education and work experience requirements for potential candidates as well as three U.S. markets that fit with your selected organization.

Use federal, state, county, and city government websites, including Chamber of Commerce or local visitor bureau sites, or any appropriate resources, to develop the data and information needed to guide the decision-making process for FFH or for your own workplace or selected organization.
