Executive Summary
Shaw is a manager at a leading consulting company, where she had been working for more than
four years now. She is in a dilemma that whether to recommend Parson or Jones for hiring for
the post of a senior analyst for her project team. Both of them are equally qualified, whereas
before submitting the name to the HR heads, she googles about both of them, she finds out that
Parson is into marijuana on Facebook which stops her to forward his name to HR heads. She
didn’t find anything such as that about Jones. Also, she knows that Parson has good leadership
skills and great communication skills and he is known for his tireless energy. He is also involved
in non-profit works and has won no. of community service awards. When it comes to Jones she
knows that he is one of the effective project managers. She has to take this critical decision since
in past years high turnover is seen in the company because of personal issues, which is not good
for the company as well as wastage of time, money and energy.

Evaluation of Options
Recommendation
Hire Rick Parson since he is a good team player, he is committed to his work environment very
well, good leadership & communication skills and he is also known for his tireless energy.
Implementation Plan
Shaw should talk to Parson personally and tell him to remove all his inappropriate pictures from
social medias, since soon he’ll be an employee of the company and such pictures will put up bad
impression about him as well as of the company to other parties.
Contingency Plan
If the above plan doesn’t work, then she should hire Deborah Jones because even he is equally
qualified, and he is listed into work related web sites as an effective project manager.
