Subject: 2010 NPPA - Spring 8  Posted by NPPA: 4/5/2010
Hello all,
 
So what are your plans for after the exam? I was serious last week when I said you should plan for something fun – no sense in doing all this studying and not having fun afterwards!
 
This Week
 
Well it looks like your research paid off!
 
Those of you that posted on the Facebook group all chose:
 
C - Tell Craig that, despite the company culture, his actions and argument for them would not hold up against the OHSA and must stop immediately
 
This answer doesn’t need much justification since it is based on the OHSA. But D & A were included for a reason – company policy is not always correct, and company culture does not supersede any laws.
 
Week 8 Update
 
You are an HR Professional for a small not-for-profit (NFP) company. You have hired a co-op student to help you with some assignments. Most recently, you asked her to go through some resumes for a job posting you had up.
 
She returns them and has attached a sheet to her ‘top 5 candidates’ that includes their Facebook picture (for those she could find), some reviews from previous employers on LinkedIN, and the last 5 tweets from Twitter (for those she could find). You know that online social networks (OSNs) are a growing part of the business landscape, but are not sure how to proceed in regards to recruitment.
 
What do you do?
 
a)     Thank the student for going above and beyond. This supplementary information will definitely help you in making your decision after the interviews.
b)     Only compare the candidates based on their resumes, interviews, and the OSNs they have in common
c)      Thank the student for this additional research, but inform her that unless an applicant discloses this additional info that it should not be used in the decision-making process
d)     Thank the student for this additional research, advise candidates in the interview that you have this additional information and will only consider it in a ‘tie-breaking’ scenario if there are 2 top candidates
 
I look forward to seeing your answers on the discussion board on our Facebook group: Canadian HR Press – Guides & Resources
 
If you have any questions in the meantime let me know at nppa@canadianhrpress.ca,
 
Ian
