The CEO’s directive to you is to prepare a short (approximately five-page double spaced) proposal that includes at the least:

1. A cover memo to the CEO providing an overview of the task assigned and a summary of your proposal

2. A description of at least three recruitment approaches that could be considered

3. A description of at least three selection approaches that could be considered

4. A cost/benefit analysis and comparison of the approaches of both the recruitment and selection approached

5. Metrics the organization could use to evaluate the effectiveness of the on-going recruitment and selection of senior level employees. Propose at least three metrics for the evaluation (include the time frame for your evaluation period such as six months after entry into the position).

6. Your recommended approach and your arguments/justification to defend your choices.

7. A conclusion section that includes a summary of the approaches recommended, the benefits and any other aspects to the proposal you want to highlight.

Notes: Use topic headings to organization your presentation, include in-text citations for statements of fact, and provide a reference page if in text citations are used in the proposal, use professional level language and writing.
