INTRODUCTION

The Kundiman Communications Corporation (KCC) is a local company

with more than 2000 persons in its payroll. The company’s top management is
composed of the President for Administration.
A member of the staff, Engineer Lorenzo de Guzman, an electronics
engineering graduate, has just received an order from his immediate superior,
the VP for operations, to head the newly built telecommunication facility in
Antipolo, Rizal. So far, he is the only company personnel identified with the
new facility. He was gicen three months to make the facility operational.
Engineer de Guzman appraised that for Antipolo unit to operate, it will
require the services of a number of persons skilled in the various activities that
will be undertaken.
As he has been working with KCC for ten years (five years in the field
and five years in the head office), Engineer de Guzman is familiar with many
aspects of the firms’ operation. Some of the supervisors and three of the key
officers are his friends.
Engineer de Guzman felt that the various training KCC provided him
had really prepared him well for the technical aspects of his new job. His
exposure to the different units at the head office will also be useful in some
ways to the administrative aspects of his position. However, his trainings and
experiences have not provided him with the expertise to recruit qualified
persons to occupy the various positions that will be created. To begin with, he
does not even have information on the number and nature of the positions to
be created.
As he was inspecting the building in Antipolo where he will hold office,
Engineer de Guzman wondered if he could convince top management to
transfer some of his acquaintances in the head office to his new assignment.
Engineer de Guzman knows that his next promotion will depend much
in the success of the new faculty under his direction. He thought that if he
could only get right persons, his job would not be too difficult. With this in mind,
he pondered on what his first move must be.
PROBLEM

1. How will Engineer De Guzman recruit qualified persons to occupy the

various positions that will be created, if he’s training and experiences have
not provided him with the experiences to do so?
2. How will he be able to know the information about the number of needed
personnel and their job descriptions?

OBJECTIVES

 To recruit the qualified and skilled personnel for the newly

created facilities
 To acquire the needed training and experiences in hiring and
recruitment
 To know the number of positions to be created

ANALYSIS
Areas of Considerations:
Demand will increase because there will be a new branch that will serve
as a plus factor that entitles company’s re-liabilities

It will help them increase the edge of competitiveness and surely it will cost
them the capital, but in a commercial way.

SUGGESTED COURSES OF ACTION

Ask the management the numbers and positions that are needed. Seek
help from his friends and ask them for their referred professionals that will
occupy the designated job. Let himself gain experiences and knowledge in
recruiting through certain seminars offered elsewhere.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

to this problem. By solving this, it could help him a lot with the specified
number of employees needed to be hired. Proper selection of the staffs is an
important matter. Imply proper selection screening process. Determine those
