Discussion: Staffing Challenges in a Labor Shortage Market

For this discussion, you will focus on talent acquisition and walk through a scenario on sourcing, recruitment, and selection in a labor market with talent shortages. You will work with a small group of your classmates to identify talent acquisition strategies and to provide your set of recommendations based upon a collaborative group discussion. First, review this module’s required resources. In your initial post to the small group discussion, address the following: How does knowledge of labor market information assist HR professionals in developing a quality staffing plan? From an external sourcing perspective, which HR initiatives and strategies are effective approaches to filling key positions in a labor market with talent shortages? From an internal sourcing perspective, which HR initiatives and strategies are effective approaches to filling key positions in a labor market with talent shortages? Refer to the chapter readings, the SHRM resources, and to the Harvard Business Review article to support your responses.
