Recruitment and Selection Strategies – Landslide LimousineRecruitment and Selection Strategies – Landslide LimousineChristina Medina, Ashlie Miller, LaTisha Morgan, and Nadine FordHRM/531 – Human Resource ManagementApril 21, 2014The recruitment and selection strategies stage is extremely important to the complete success of Landslide Limousine Service to survive in a highly competitive market in Austin.  Selecting the 25 most qualified staff personnel to fit the right positions can be a challenge and requires patience, knowledge, and understanding of the company’s objective of being a “First class transportation service”.  It is imperative to recruit personnel that are experienced, knowledgeable, and well-rounded with an interest in developing personal growth and can follow through with the company’s goals and achievements.  As former and late CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs states, “Recruiting is hard, it’s finding the needles in the haystack …” (Cascio, 2013 p. 200), and following these recommendations will make all the needles, become visible.The overall organizational goal is a small reflection of the performance management plan that we provided to you a few weeks ago.  The company’s goal is to expect a 10% turnover rate with an annual net of – $50,000.00 within the first year, clearly shows that investing in the recruitment and selection process will be one of the top priorities.  Goals and mission statements communicated to new recruits along with your visions and achievement to the development of Landslide Limousine Service for the next few years should establish a sound foundation.  Following the labor laws of the state of Texas is crucial in the recruitment and selection process, you must follow through at all cost, as noncompliance can be very costly.  A few important laws to consider specifically for Texas:
Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) – Men and women in the same workplace must be equally paid for equal work and the jobs need to be identical.  This law including salary, overtime pay, bonuses, profit sharing and bonus plan, vacation, and holiday covers all forms of pay.  If there is an inequality in wages between men and women, employers may not reduce the wage of either sex to equalize their pay (Laws, Regulations, Guidance and MOUs).The Age Discrimination in Employment Act 1967 (ADEA) – involves treating someone (an applicant or employee) less favorably because of his or her age.  It only forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older and does not protect workers under the age of 40.  It is legal for an employer or other covered entity to favor an older worker over a younger one.  Discrimination only occurs when the victimized applicants are all over the age of 40 (Laws, Regulations, Guidance and MOUs).
*This legislation is more lenient than the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) and requires an employer to provide overtime pay to workers under 50 years of age, a minimum of $5 per hour, or one of up to three hours of paid hours a year for a minimum of three weeks or a maximum of seven weeks. In some cases, workers may be protected under the ADA as long as an employer meets the same requirements for overtime pay.
Nestled in California as the “Rosa Lynn” Farm, this one-acre plot is unique in its own right and draws many of the same people from many other places. Â Rosa Lynn’s farm has been a center of religious, educational, and environmental awareness for thousands of years and has become a national treasure.
The Roosa Lynn Farm has a beautiful location with its original setting for a very particular purpose. In the 1800s, the farm’s first population was in the town of Rosa Lynn. The first census of the town, published in 1878, revealed that the county population of Rosa Lynn had increased by 25 percent since 1880.
Many of the community’s first residents came from California but also in New York and Boston counties, and the Roosa Lynn Farmers’ Market opened in 1914. In 1936, Rosa Lynn was renamed the “Roosa Lynn Farm”.
Rosa Lynn Farmers’ Market closed on December 30, 1967; a memorial was opened last year to honor the lives lost due to fire. The Rev. Martin Thomas also attended Sunday School in Rosa Lynn’s first Stove Up.
I also love that I get to use the location as “The Roosa Lynn Community Camp” or as the “My Roosa Roosa”, to talk about where to find a place to find work when you’re a child, or maybe just stay a little bit if you want to keep it real quiet.
This is all I needed to begin thinking about the issues I raised in my training and about people I came across at the Roosa Lynn “Rosa Lynn” Farm. My goal in my work is to provide educational education to people interested in the “Rosa Lynn” Farm. So please don’t feel ignored unless you’re a complete stranger. If you happen to be a friend of mine who comes from an older generation of people in our community, I’m happy to assist and talk about what is likely to be important lessons for your children (and grandchildren). I hope that you can find some value in this information and in providing me with more information.
