Question 3 Mr. Perfect seems to be just the person for the job Situation 1 While trying to find a new accounts receivable person for his Chicago-based postcard printing business, Javier Gomez decided that he had surely found Mr. Perfect: On paper, this applicant had the right background, and he was asking for less money than Gomez was willing to pay. The interview went well, the reference check was positive, and the drug test came back dear. A few odd twists in Mr. Perfect's story, though, have created some questions for Gomez. First, Mr. Perfect was asked during the hiring process to show his driver's license, but he could produce only an lIllinois state I.D. card. (A driver's license is needed to operate a motor n so many ways. Does it make sense to think about restructuring n so many ways the job (for example, limiting access to cash and blank checks as vehicle legally, but the state also issues L.D. cards to help Illinois much as possible) to minimize the concerns that have surfac residents prove their identity when banking, traveling, and in other situations.) Second, Mr. Perfect stated that he had for his previous employer for 12 years and thus could provide only one appropriate reference.Gomez always asks for three ref- erences so that he can contact them all and look for patterns of Cassandra Kinsley is the hiring behavior. Finally, Mr. Perfect mentioned in passing that if he were and she must choose between two final candidates, B hired, he would like to perform tasks beyond those listed in the Adams and Jennifer Rensi, for a senior media analyst job description for the position.

Explanation / Answer

Q1) With the available information at hand, Gomez should not hire Mr.Perfect due to the below reasons -

Driver's license is the government identify and permission for a person to operate a motor vehicle legally whereas state ID would a proof of identity of the individual for authentication but does not provide any confirmation on whether the individual is authroized to drive or not.

References should be atleast 2 in number to ensure the recruiters understand whether the information regarding the candidate is consistent or not.

Thirdly, the way Mr.Perfect is open to work on additional tasks as unskilled as dropping mails off post office within the lesser salary he is content with, is something which raises a serious skepticism in one's mind.

Q2) Gomez should follow the process of getting the information from three references as he does for others as apart of recruitment process irrespective of whether the individual worked with a single firm or multiple firms. Working for 12 years, Mr.Perfect should be able to provide 3 references of his superiors or colleagues. Multiple references is to ensure the information that they provide matches to one another's or not.

Q3) A job can be restructured only to a certain extent but considering this is an Accounts Receivables job, it should not be restricted from accessing financial information of the company and credit details of customers. It will only increse the overhead to ensure another person handles the financially sensitive information which is not desirable.
