Just this morning you received a call from the Vice President of Transportation who needs to hire 20 new drivers by the end of the year to help support a new contract the company has recently won. If the drivers cannot be hired the company risks losing the contract and having to lay off employees. Use the information contained in the table above to answer the below questions. Format your responses to the questions in the form of a written report to the Vice President of Transportation.
- What number should you target for recruitment (i.e., how many applicants should they try to obtain)?
- How many phone interviews should you be prepared to hold?
- How many of those 20 drivers can you expect to remain drivers after 6 months?
For purposes of this assignment, you will need to use math and yield ratios to determine the answers to the questions above. Also of importance is the fact that you are targeting 20 drivers in the Accepted Job Category.
