Canadidates Perspective

    Currently, I am excited I get to be around plants all day. It is a calm, peaceful environment, most of the time, and I am always learning something new. The value I bring is that I have personal experience with plants as my family owned a florist shop so I know how to take care of flowers really well. Specifically the orchids, we have 20-35 in my house at any given time so taking over the tropical imports was super easy. 

    As for my full potential there is not a proportion that I could take at this time that keeps me in the same general floor position. I could seek an administrative, managerial or HR position at Watson’s but since they are a small business still I am not sure I want to pursue my degree path under their employment. For now they are a good job to have while I am in school; it gives me a break from the curriculum to invest in my own hobbies before my degree and job are the same. It is a good life experience to try different jobs out. Going the office route would be earning my fullest potential here, but I know other companies can pay me more for the same work. If I was going to apply they would need to offer me a more competitive package. While my manager has brought it up it is not her call to make on what the company can offer so that conversation would have been the time to communicate if she saw value in pursuing that option for me. 


    Recruiters who are hiring externally do not have the advantage of knowing the people applying. Expressing desire to aid someone’s professional desire to excel in the recruitment offer process is very different from internal hirers where they must actively commit to action in order to show they value what an employee has to offer. Actionable items are a great way to show candidates and employees that they are recognized for their worth.

The Future of HR

Organization is essential to the future of HR. As in the video talent and leadership is not enough for a company to succeed; they need a structure that benefits all parts of the whole. Good leaders with untalented or incompetent employees will not get anything done. Similarly, a talented group of employees will struggle to make meaningful progress if guided by an ill-equipped leader. It is the organization of all efforts that collectively guarantees success. In HR it is vital to garner functionality above all else; we can not be concerned about stakeholders if we can not make progress. Organization impacts every single other item on this list in a core way. You can not have structure, practices, or analytics without being organized enough to know what needs to be done.  I believe the least important is stakeholders - not because they are not important but because it is not the most immediately impactful aspect. While refining what the stakeholders want from HR and the company can h...

Job Postings

     For this assignment I used the job boards; Indeed, and ZipRecruiter. While I have not used Indeed much I was more familiar with the website layout as I found it easy to find many positions that fit the role of HR manager. Most of the postings had links to apply directly to the company which consisted mainly of resume submissions, one was asking for a cover letter. These all seem like automated processes so it is clear to see the information is going into the ATS’s (Applicant Tracking Systems). Since it is easy to use and I can see what each company is expecting and offering, it is a bit overwhelming in terms of results. In reality New York is huge so I assume location, pay, type of business, etc. would help narrow down the list extensively.       The second site I tried was ZipRecruiter. This is a hiring site I have heard of but never opened. While it is essentially the same as Indeed the overall layout and design are more simplistic, easier to na...

Recruitment and Marketing

       For this assignment I want to talk about going from the worst place I have ever worked at to the best and what makes them so different. First off there were indicators to how the job was going to be from the first interview. For sake of amenity, the worst job will be referred to as the Brewery, and the best Plant Nursery.            At the Brewery I had two rounds of interviews but the first manager was unorganized and barely conducted an interview before dismissing me to come back for the second round. Where the branch manager, who was brought in to “clean up house”, openly mocked and demeaned staff to me throughout the interview. I was hired on the spot and I accepted because I needed the work but the unprofessionalism I saw only got worse the longer I was there. There were health code violations, HR cases constantly (some against managers), coworker’s coming in high or drunk, and that is on top of the location not being th...
