Explanation / Answer

1. Yes, I agree with the consultant's opinion. this is because in any organisation it is important to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the employees. This will help improve functioning of the organisation and reduce chances of conflicts.

2. Mr. Mohammed's criteria is suitable for small organisations or for a project. However, as the organisation is growing within the country and across the globe, it is important to improve the recruitment process. The company can source talent from various sources, and it needs to thoroughly assess the candidature of applicants. HR costs are an important component of the company's overall costs and the company should be careful about its methods of sourcing

3. Said can refer some websites to write a Job description, such as http://resources.workable.com/job-descriptions. Further,it is important to understand the requirement of each department separately and then create a job descritpion. The descritpion should clearly define, the roles, responsbilities, reporting relationships, nature of employment, tenure, terms and conditions and compensation.

4. Firstly, it is important to identify the vacancies for all departments, create job descriptions and defining selection criteria. Once, that is done, the recruitment process can be initiated. It is important to finalise the sources of recruitment. For the new store, following soruces can be utilised :

a. Local HR Consultants

b. Internet Recruting. Professional Social Media and websites such as LinkedIn which have a global outreach

c. Colleges and Universities to hire fresh graduates/ post graduates

Proper timelines need to be defined for the recruitment process to complete. Ideally Said should initiate and complete the process within 4 months. All the documentation for the hiring process should be completed before the store becomes operational.
