Scenario

You are the newly appointed human resources director at Pruhart Tech, a midsize high-tech company located in the southeastern United States. The company is preparing for growth due to an increase in demand for its new smart home tech products.

The companys computer programmers play a key role in the development of new smart home tech products. Currently, the company employs 20 computer programmers. The CEO wants to create a new position of senior programmer and wants to fill 10 of these roles within the next three months to lead new product development. HR has begun drafting a job description for the senior programmer position but has not been able to complete it without conducting a formal job analysis.

Recruiting 10 senior programmers is no easy task. There is a competitive market and a shortage of qualified labor in the area. To source qualified candidates, both internal and external recruitment methods will need to be utilized. The CEO values strong teamwork and holds a belief that in-person work is the best way to achieve that. However, the CEO has agreed to reclassify the 20 current computer programmers and the 10 new senior programmers into remote positions yet wants to ensure that the newly hired employees will be able to work well within the team in a remote setting.
