Collectively, your group will be acting as the HR Manager for a small retail organization in Toronto with 100 employees located in an urban community. You have been tasked to hire an entry level HR Coordinator to assist you as your company is growing and will soon open a second location! The Talent Acquisition Project (part 1) is worth 15% of your course grade and there are three major components to this project: Project Component Due Date Part 1 Organization, Job Analysis & Sourcing Week 7 by 11:59pm on July 16th, 2021 Part 2 Candidate Selection Week 12 by 11:59pm on Aug 6th, 2021 Part 1: Organization, Job Analysis & Sourcing The first step in developing your Talent Acquisition plan is to ensure that you fully understand your organization as well as the knowledge, skills, abilities, other attributes (KSAOs) and competencies required for this entry level HR Coordinator position. As such, part 1 of this project is to utilize content from Lecture to conduct a job analysis and create a job description for the entry level HR Coordinator role. You will also be identifying three recruitment sources (see lecture on recruitment sources) that you will use to generate an applicant pool for your entry level HR Coordinator position e.g., what sources or methods will you use to reach potential qualified applicants? Submissions must include the following: 1. Organizational Overview: Include a description of your fictional organization in Toronto. Be creative! You know that you are a small retail organization located in an urban setting but what do you sell? What is your companys name? What makes your organization unique? When you write this section of your paper think of it like the About Us section of a companys website. Include an employee value proposition statement. Describe the key perks offered by your company as an employer and answer the question why would someone want to work for you? What do you offer your employees in exchange for their contributions? Your employee value proposition must be appropriate for a small retail organization. 2. Job Analysis: Conduct a job analysis by selecting at least three data sources to help you identify the primary responsibilities and job specifications for this entry level HR Coordinator role (Remember, regardless of the type of organization, everyone is hiring an entry level HR Coordinator).

Other sources of data can include existing documentation such as job descriptions for a similar HR Coordinator role in a comparable organization, internet sources such as Ontario Skills Passport and/or job posting sites, such as Indeed, Monster or you can actually interview a job incumbent. You must cite (in APA format) and describe each data source and explain why you chose these sources how will these sources enhance the defensibility of your job analysis process? Remember, job sites such as Indeed are NOT a data source a job posting found on indeed, would be the data source. 3. Job Description: Using the information gathered from your job analysis data, create an entry level HR Coordinator job description using the job description template found on Moodle in the Project Folder. You are creating a job description and not a job advertisement/posting. Your job description must be complete and included but not limited to; 8 to 10 job tasks/responsibilities, credentials including education and designations, abilities and etc. 4. Recruitment Sources: Describe three specific internal and/or external recruitment sources that you will use to reach candidates (it is not sufficient to say, for example, the internet what is the specific job site?).
