This person will be responsible for both internal and external communications of the company, including writing corporate news- letters, communicating with the press in a public relations function, coaching senior officers on ways to improve their presentation skills, communicating orally and in writing the corporate directions (mission statements) and poli- cies to employees, and soliciting news from employees for reporting in cor- porate newsletters to enhance cohesiveness and morale following the merger of French- and English-speaking companies. The president of the merged company has hired you to recruit and screen for this position, referring to him the top three candidates. He, along with the HR director, will select their top candidate from among these three, using one or more focused assess- ments. The position requirements for this appointment, developed from the job analysis workshop, include: fluency in both written and spoken French and English; excellent oral and written communication skills; ability to manage interpersonal conflict; ability to work under tight timelines, with multiple conflicting demands; ability to plan and organize; ability to remain calm when demands considered unreasonable are being made by one's boss; ability to solicit information and cooperation from others and over- come personal obstacles; ability to extract relevant information from an abundance of reports and summarize it; ability to present relatively difficult material in an easily understand- able way; ability to provide effective coaching to senior officers for improving their presentation skills; ability to motivate others to embrace and execute corporate policies; willingness to "go above and beyond the call of duty." The president has contracted you to (1) establish a recruitment plan, specifying the specific recruitment outlets; (2) propose a screening strategy, outlining each stage of screening and the tools to be used; (3) describe a post-scrteening selection assessment; and (4) speak to the merits of your proposal. Finally, develop biodata items that are likely to be useful for screening for this position and provide your rationale for each. (Of course, before using such items, you would need to determine empirically whether they are appropriate.) and
