Staffing Organizations

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024. Courses of Study 2023-2024 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

The central goal of staffing is to ensure that your organization has the right people in the right jobs at the right time. It is hard to accomplish. In fact, nearly half of all hiring decisions are deemed a 'failure' from either the hiring manager or the worker. This course will introduce students to the challenges organizations and hiring managers face at each stage of the hiring process –– from defining job requirements though identifying, evaluating, selecting, and onboarding candidates – as well as how to overcome those challenges. We will also discuss succession planning, employee offboarding (turnover), the use of alternative work arrangements, and other activities that support an organizations' efforts to acquire and retain talent. We will explore these topics through a combination of interactive lectures, cases, applied assignments, and a series of "How do we actually do this?" conversations with talent acquisition leaders tackling these issues in real time.
