CASE STUDY: RECRUITING ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Case studies have a practical application in business, as many operational leaders need to
practice situations that they may face. We can look at a situation in the Tanglewood
organization to understand the concept of the issues any business might need to resolve. By
reviewing the data, we can realize where there might be success and where some unintentional
poor results are occurring.
INSTRUCTIONS
You will complete the “Recruiting” case in the Tanglewood Casebook (#3 on pages 23 – 28,
2018). You will write a 3 – 5-page essay (total does not include title page or reference page)
that answers questions 2, 3, 5 & 6 located on page 28. Do not simply answer the questions.
This is an essay and must be written to include an introduction, body, and conclusion. It may
prove helpful to use the topic of the questions (open vs targeted, job/org characteristics,
referrals, bottom line) as section headers in your essay. Your response must be supported by at
least 2 peer-reviewed resources. These resources must have been published within the last 5
years. Do not use other textbooks. The essay must be written in current APA format and
include a title page, reference page, and in-text citations.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool. The
tool is a starting point for instructors to check overall Academic Integrity and higher scores
generally indicate a higher probability of Academic Misconduct. The higher a score the
higher the probability that there are too high a percentage of quotations included in the
narrative, and/or there are passages that have not been properly cited.
