Assignment: This report is resulted from study of our group for the reasons of hiring failure,
especially from the viewpoint of graduated employee/interviewee age from 24 to 30. The

policies of recruitment and keeping good employee/interviewee.

I. Introduction

“The success of most of today’s business depends more on human assets than on physical
or financial assets. Buildings, equipment, manufacturing facilities, and most
technologies can be readily purchased, but the human talent and know-how needed to
drive our knowledge-based industries are much harder to come by”. (Richard Luecke,
2002).

Appropriate people assigned to appropriate jobs may bring more benefit or profit to the
business. Therefore, hiring and keeping good people is one of the most important
decisions of managers. Successful recruitment may improve the performance and
effectiveness of employees, teams, and the firms. On the other hand, poor recruiting may
damage the company reputation, expenses and time. Hence, running effective recruiting
is big issues of HR department, as well as managers of firms.

Measuring the effectiveness of recruiting is very important.

This paper will attempt to explore the viewpoint of job applicants to jobs and
organizations, especially from the interviewee who was dissatisfactory with the
recruitment.
