critically evaluate the organisation’s attraction, selection, orientation and retention practices

Select an organisation of your choice that you are able to gain access to. Prepare a report (addressed to the CEO or equivalent) in which you critically evaluate the organisation’s attraction, selection, orientation and retention practices. You must evaluate the organisation’s current practices by comparing their practices with good practice as articulated by expert commentators in contemporary scholarly literature.
Areas to cover must include:
• Job analysis (including job descriptions and person specifications)
• The process and implementation of attracting applicants
• The selection process (including the development of selection criteria, short-listing documentation, interview or other assessment documentation, scoring methods, decision making approach);
• Appointment (including documentation) & Rejection (including documentation)
• Legal compliance
• Orientation and socialisation
• Strategies to ensure the employees are retained in the organisation

In your report for the CEO critically evaluate the practices that are currently used in each of the above areas. Include clear recommendations (for each of these areas). Ensure the report has well researched justifications for these recommendations.
In your appendices include sample documents (e.g. sample advertisements, policies, procedures, job descriptions, interview templates etc.) and your revised and enhanced versions where appropriate.
Where you recommend no changes to current practices this should be supported with clear justifications
