For the following scenario described in Fortune dated October 29, 2001, develop a
theoretical framework. And write one paragraph literature review on it
Hiring decisions are made without much thought to several aspects pertaining to the
candidate. For instance, Schlager, whose resumé did not mention anything at all about
attempting to murder his wife and spending 6 years in prison, was hired for a medical
director position in one of the largest medical device companies. A simple Googling
would have turned up one of the 24 articles in this case, comments Fortune magazine.
Thirty percent of resumés contain misstatements of facts, according to industry
experts. The most common resumé fudge is to expand the dates of employment.
When people are fired, it does not feature in the resumé. Dis- covering crimes
committed under an alias and getting information from overseas are practically
impossible.

ANSWER:

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

MAXIMUM
PERFORMANCE

RESUME HIRING EMPLOYEES

DIVISION OF
RESPONSIBILITIES

Literature Review: The main thing which is talk about in this situation is the recruiting
choice are made for the clinical organization. Yet, the organization settled on wrong
choice and employed an individual who murder his significant other "J. A., and
Hurried, R. W. (2000)". A basic googling would have turned up one of 24 articles for
this situation. About a third of resumes contain error and most normal resume contain
fudge is to grow the dates of work "Dombrowski, D. A. (1999)". Here my assessment is
that organization need to change the executives and settled on the correct choice for
organization and adhere to rules of recruiting workers, "Blanchard, C. (1986)".
