PIONEER MANAGEMENT
CONSULTANT Handbook Date: 11/2012 PMC DEFINITION
OF STRATEGIC STAFFING
Strategic staffing is the process where the management develops
a
company through employee recruitment, selection process, and
analysis of
individuals as capable employees. It involves the filling of
vacant
positions in Pioneer Management Consultant (PMC) by
identifying the
requirements of the position, undertaking an inventory of the
available
individuals, recruiting them, selecting the successful
candidate(s),
placement, organizing staff training, promotions, and
compensating hard
working staff (Bechet, 2002). JOB ANALYSIS Job analysis
refers to the
process of identifying and determining the duties and
requirements that a
position entails. Job analysis in PMC involves the relative
significance of the job’s duties and requirement. A significant
concept
about job analysis at PMC is that job analysis is done on the job
and not a person. Job analysis data is acquired from
various data collection methods like interviews, questionnaires,
or
15. observation, but the product of this analysis is the description
and
requirements specifications of the job, which are not a
description of a
person (Oswald, 2003). PMC APPROACH TO THE JOB
ANALYSIS PROCESS Pioneer
Management Consultant uses two approaches in conducting job
analysis.
These two approaches include major job requirement (MJRs)
and Knowledge,
skill, and abilities job analysis approach. The source of the
major job
requirements are the current, official job position description
by the
company’s human resource department. KSAs identify the
requirements
necessary to accomplish the MJR. The goal of KSAs in PMC is
to identify
the successful candidate(s) who possess the potential to perform
the
duties in the position to be filled. EXAMPLE OF JOB

INTERVIEWING
19. PROCESS OUR INTERVIEWING PHILOSOPHY PMC believes
that managers and
leaders are not are not different class of individuals in a
company. Any
individual can be either an effective manager or a skilled
leader. PMC
interviewing philosophy embodies the goal of tapping the work
force that
will direct the company to its goal while functioning as a unit.
Some
of the elements in the philosophy include effectiveness,
functioning,
developing commitment, effective leadership, and appropriate
skills. EXAMPLES OF LEGALLY ACCEPTABLE, NON-
GENERIC INTERVIEWING QUESTIONS 1."What do you
know about this organization?"2."What
do you know about the position you've applied for” PRE-
EMPLOYMENT
ASSESSMENT Using these pre-employment assessments is an
effective method
for PMC to identify an applicant that has the potential to fill a
vacant position. Some of the pre-employment assessments
include
personality tests, criminal background assessments, cognitive
tests, and
medical examination (Wienclaw, 2010) . ORGANIZATIONAL
PHILOSPHY TO
PRE-EMPLOYMENT TESTING AND ASSESSMENT By
utilizing valid pre-employment
tests and employee assessment tools, Pioneer Management
Consultant adds a
significant and crucial objectivity element regarding employee
evaluation and assessment. PIONEER MANAGEMENT
CONSULTANT (PMC) STAFFING
