sus.edu/mod/assign/view.php?id-278382 STUDENT SUCCESS ONLINE RESOURCESTECHNICAL RESOURCES LSUS RESOURCES Recruiting and Selecting Low-Level Workers among Seniors Jackson Hotels, described previously in Case 35, also has a chalenge in recruiting and selecting lower -level employees in their resort hotels for such jobs as desk clerk, night manager, reservations, maid service, food service, and maintenance. In many cases, the labor pool of qualified candidates found in larger cities is simply not available or adequate in or Shirely Gomes, vice president for human resources, has determined that senior citizens might be the best recruitment option for Jackson Hotels given the high income customers the hotel chain seeks to serve. Her rationale is they have a vast amount of experience, lower accident rates, lower absentee rates, and higher joh satisfaction soores than younger workers. As a result of changing attitudes of both employers and employees as well as the increasing availablity of seniors in resort areas, she noted that many other companies have begun to target seniors for recruitment. These organizations realize seniors usually have proven employment experlence, job savy, rellability, interpersonal skills, and commitment to the employer. She believes these qualities are impertant deterininants of success in the hotel jobs she hopes to fill in the future. She is also aware that many seniors gravitate toward independent contracting, on-call work, arkl temporary assignments rather than full-time Gomez is concerned that some hotel chains have been successfully sued for failure to do adequate background checks on all new emplopees. In some cases, this failure resulted in the theft of personal property or worse. Consequently, she is aware that whatever processes of recruätment and selection she initiates will need to incorporate some type of background investigation. Up to the present, she has relied on local newspaper advertisements and applicant interviews with holel managers to recruit and screen applicants. Results have been unsatisfactory thus far due to high turnover and mied performance among the newly hired employees. She expects present recruitment approaches to be even more inadequate as the hoiel cha?m expands over the next five years, She has asked your prolessr,.
