Business plan

Develop a graduate recruitment programme for an engineering firm, which designs and manufactures construction equipment

Write a management report for the Executive Committee summarising the key issues that will need to be considered in developing and implementing the graduate recruitment programme and your recommended approach.

The report should have as a minimum an Executive Summary, a Main Section detailing your analysis and proposed approach, Costings (can be an appendix) and Recommendations.

Key issues should include how to attract applicants, criteria for assessing candidates, methods for recruitment, the details of the proposed recruitment process including how it will identify the best candidates, meet the diversity objectives and ensure that candidates fit the culture of the firm. Put forward an initial estimate of the staffing resources required, and the estimated cost to deliver the recruitment programme from beginning to conclusion (this requires considering all aspects of delivering the recruitment programme including such matters as travel, accommodation, administration etc). Divide the total cost by the number of proposed hires to show estimated cost per hire.”
