    The student was initially unsure about what was required for the recruitment portfolio but joined a group of three other students. They decided to focus on SBS Australia and a Bachelor of Business in HR/IR. The group selected SBS because one member's sister works there and could provide practical experience. The student felt positive about the group since they consulted with each other. They divided the assessment components among the group, with the job analysis done together. The student created a position specification relating it to their future employability as an HR/IR graduate. They agreed applicants would need communication and teamwork experience rather than direct HR experience. The student realized sociology and psychology overlap in recruitment, and they will use an objective process and sociological perspective

    I have been involved in a few group assessment tasks in other units so had an idea

    of how to go about the recruitment portfolio. I was not looking forward to doing the
    portfolio because I was unsure of what was required in terms of the wiki site, also, at
    first I did not know anyone in my tutorial group.
    In any event, I joined a group with three other students. The group eventually
    decided on SBS Australia as the organisation for the portfolio and the degree would
    be a Bachelor of Business (HR/IR). The sister of one of the group members works at
    SBS as a cadet journalist. We selected the group through a process of consultation,
    deciding that it would be good to have some practical experience of the
    organisation if needed. The fact that we consulted and listened to one another from
    the start made me feel positive about my group members.
    The theoretical focus of the portfolio is on some psychological theory eg: perceptual
    errors in the selection process, bias, halo and horns, and on a practical application
    of theory/content to the portfolio. I was particularly interested in how subjective the
    R&S process is, because of that as a future practitioner of HR I will try to be as
    objective as possible by planning and structuring the process as far as possible .
    After selecting SBS we divided the assessment components among the group. We
    did the JA as a whole group because it made sense, given that the other aspects of
    the portfolio flowed from it.
    One of the things that I needed to do was to create a PS for the position. Because
    we had chosen a graduate in HR/IR I kept relating what I researched, read and heard
    from my group members to my future employability as an HR/IR graduate. What do
    I have in terms of the PS? How would I fit the requirements. Most importantly we
    all agreed that applicants for our graduate position would not need to have previous
    experience in a HR role, they would need to demonstrate some employment or
    volunteer experience to show their ability or skill in things such as communication,
    both in writing and oral, time management/working to a deadline, and working as a
    team member. In fact, this portfolio task showcases my own skills in these areas
    and if I need to I can use it as an example in my own resume.
    At first I thought that the content for this assessment was unrelated to the first part
    of the unit where we looked as sociology and how it might apply in the workplace.
    As mentioned before the focus was on psychology, but there are overlaps between
    the two areas. For instance, how do I go about selecting the best person for a job if
    I am blinkered and narrow in my own view of the world. In my future role in HR/IR
    I will use my sociological imagination as well as my knowledge of the objective
    steps involved in the R&S to make sound choices.
