This module will enable students to analyse and critically evaluate contemporary debates and developments in managing people resources from entry to exit in a sustainable way. It will equip students with the fundamental skills, knowledge, and understanding of sourcing and recruitment as part of Human Resource (HR) planning. The module will begin with an understanding of how HR professionals can attract and recruit individuals globally into the right role at the right time and cost. Students will develop skills in how to use relevant workforce planning data, and technology (e.g., Artificial Intelligence, social media) to tap into diverse candidate pools. The module emphasises the importance of ethical awareness in decision-making, focusing on diversity and fairness regarding the candidate experience of the recruitment process. It will further expose students to the need for resourcing activities to be focused on understanding the candidate experience, designing effective assessment and selection approaches, e.g. interviews, assessment centres, situational judgement tests etc. and, overall, how to make effective recruitment decisions. Students will learn about the major features of international employment markets from which organisations source staff, assess the values of different sourcing channels, and how these markets evolve or change. Students will then learn how to use workforce data, succession, and contingency planning tools to understand how to attract, manage and retain talent vis-à-vis current and future capability needs and globalised talent pools. Students will learn about job design and analysis, induction and socialisation processes, and the role of employer branding to understand managing people resources. Finally, the module will conclude with a discussion on retirement, dismissal, redundancy, and grievances.
