This assignment involves human resource management. Imagine that you're the HR manager of a manufacturing company. Though the company already has over 1000 employees, it's still expanding to meet consumer demands. You are going to be responsible for the hiring of five new employees and for the promoting of five existing employees.

Which one of the hiring methods that we spoke about would you use? Structured interviews? Behavioral or personality tests? Performance tests? Lie detector tests? Provide clear reasoning for your selections.

What methods of performance review would you use when deciding who to promote? Would you simply base your opinions on personal impression or seek a wide range of opinions? What would you do if opinions were mixed? Again, be sure to provide clear reasoning for your selections.
