Familiarize yourself with the spreadsheet before beginning your work.
Background
Salesteq Corporation is a successful consumer products’ company located in San Francisco. The company has been growing at a constant rate during the past three years. Productivity gains have been realized through computerization of its services. Salesteq has strongly supported its personnel staff since people are viewed as a critical asset for the continued success of the company.
Employees are recruited from four sources: the web, newspapers, radio, and referrals. All recruits are interviewed and a selection decision is made “by someone” based on the interview score? Salesteq’s HR staff monitor the number of interviews they conduct by recruitment source. Additionally, recruitment data on the number of people hired, average performance of hires at the end of the first year, and total recruitment costs are collected.
In this assignment, you will be calculating a number of HR metrics pertaining to different areas of recruitment. These include metrics for assessing Salesteq’s previous recruitment strategy, planned interview strategy, and actual vs. forecasted recruitment. These computations will help you to understand what assessments go into evaluating different areas of recruitment at an organization.

Questions.
Using the data from the spreadsheet, answer the following questions in a separate document.
1. Set all your data for all sources in the “Interview strategy by Recruitment Source” to zero. Next, increase the number of interviews from Part II for the recruitment source with the highest historical yield ratio until the FORECASTED number of hires in the FORECASTED column (e.g. cell F58) equals the ACTUAL number of hires (D58).
Question 1: What recruiting source was used? How many interviews were required?
Before continuing, reset your data to the original forecasted number of interviews.
2. Further analysis indicated that 65 percent of Salesteq minority recruits are attracted by radio. Assume that a minimum of 70 interviews are needed for those who apply due to radio. Plan an interview strategy such that costs per hire do not exceed ACTUAL costs per hire with as many FORECASTED outcomes as possible (number of hires, average performance, and total yield) exceeding ACTUAL outcomes.
Question 2: What was your strategy for this scenario? Explain. (i.e., This will require you to change the numbers across all recruitment sources, to identify an optimal mix of recruitment sources.
As with the previous analysis, reset your interview numbers to the original data.
3. Next imagine that because of budget cutbacks, Salesteq will only budget $6,500 for the next year’s recruitment budget. Explain your strategy for this scenario.
Question 3: What are the advantages and disadvantages of this recruitment planning model? Explain
