1/1

An observation to the article is that the recommended hiring process is only applicable or biased

toward large corporations and is not applicable to small or growing successful company. These

bias can be clearly seen on Step 4, 5 and 6 which describes that a set of top ranking officials beinvolved in the hiring process and transition process. These reuirements can only be achieved

by having a large pool of tenure employees which is likely the case in small and growing

successful company. !t is a fact that tenure officers have e"perience # knowledge of theprocesses in the $ompany. %owever, these tenure officers can back fire the hiring process by

being threatened of their position and acuired power &'obbins # (udge, )**+. %ence these

challenges must be recogni-ed by the %' management # make the necessary programs in orderto prevent these possible scenarios.

astly, the /0th step is by auditing and reviewing the performance of the new hired employees.

These performances can be measured and monitored by %' management by creating a control

system and strategy against the 1ob descriptions # targeted goals of the newcomer. !t isrecommended that a bad performing newcomer must be relieved within the first year # the

recruiting process be reviewed and updated regularly in order to save the company from wasting

time, resources and opportunities in the future.

The Article, however, fails to reali-e and mention the importance of eadership as one of thetraits needed in hiring a top2e"ecutive. As mentioned in an 3rgani-ational ehavior &'obbins #

(udge, )**+, a leadership skill can be natural to an individual or can be learned through

e"periences. !f a $ompany fails to measure the leadership skill of a candidate, the wholerecommended hiring process can be compromised due to the reuired additional skills that needs

to be taught to the newcomer.

Aside to the eual opportunity that the $ompany must provide to applicants &Auino, 3ct ),

/+0+, the Article recommends that it is better to hire top2e"ecutives than hire potential

applicants which can be trained to be leaders and top2e"ecutives &'obbins # (udge, )**+. The$ompany can hire more employees rather than one top2e"ecutive compared to the opportunity of

hiring two or more applicants of the same salary amount combined which in turn could deliver orcontribute twice or more. This way, the $ompany can be an ethical $ompany that gives more

individuals the opportunity to perform their right to work as mentioned in $atholic Social

Teachings &Abela, )**/.

The recommended seven steps in hiring, guides the %' management of the $ompany to reali-ethe importance of having a structured and standard hiring process in order to achieve the goals of

the $ompany and support the company in terms of saving time, resources and opportunities in

the future. These factors could and should have been reali-ed by $3s in order to help %' in

structuring a standard hiring process.
