Introduction

Attracting top talent that fits the organization is of considerable importance. The ability to recruit and select talented people is one of the foundational skills for any human resource (HR) professional and one that will be utilized throughout your career.

Preparation

Scenario

For this assessment, choose either option 1 or 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the instructions below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.

Option 1

You are the new HR manager for Java Corp, which specializes in cold coffee and iced tea. Java Corp is small but quickly growing. There are 300 employees in the company and the organization has a history of a stable workforce with very limited turnover. Recently, the company gained over 200 employees and there are a number of supervisory and managerial positions that need to be filled. The CEO has asked you to work with her to fill positions based on an organizational structure she has just created.

New supervisors and managers are needed in IT (one), marketing (one), operations (two), and security (one). Each of these areas has seasoned internal employees eager to compete for jobs, though some may not be as qualified as external candidates. Develop a recruitment and selection plan that is best suited for this situation and make appropriate recommendations to the CEO.

Option 2

Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information to complete the assessment. You may use the same organization for the other assessments.

If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.

Research the recruitment and selection functions of the chosen organization.

Contact your faculty if you have questions.

Introduction

Ethics often stirs strong emotions and opinions, especially among business students, as it has become a central focus in business education. Respecting diverse perspectives on ethics is a crucial part of learning in this course, particularly as you engage in the initial activities. Observing your reactions, as well as those of others, with an open and nonjudgmental attitude, will be invaluable as you work towards the course objectives.

You will start to identify the stakeholders, issues, and current perceptions surrounding business ethics. You will be challenged to confront your beliefs and compare them with how various organizations approach ethics, exploring why some have been recognized as leaders in ethical practices.

Understanding that business ethics is a complex and evolving field is central to studying it. As conditions, environments, people, and organizations change, their behaviors and the regulations that aim to establish fair standards in the business world also evolve.

You are encouraged to critically engage with the course material and actively participate in discussions. Through questioning and exploration, you will uncover the many gray areas that characterize business ethics. As you navigate these challenging zones, your ability to analyze and devise solutions to ethical dilemmas will grow.

Take your time with this weeks readings. Consider discussing the theories and concepts with your business associates, family, or social circles to assess their relevance in real-world contexts. Reflecting on these conversations will prepare you for the assignments and discussions, helping you to define business ethics and build a framework for its application in your professional career.

You will also explore different ethical theories and how they apply to business decisions. Examining these theories allows for a deeper understanding of the moral principles that guide decision-making in complex situations. Understanding stakeholder needs and the ethical implications of business actions is key to navigating ethical dilemmas effectively. Additionally, applying these ethical frameworks will help you identify and analyze issues, ultimately leading to more informed and principled decision-making.

While no single approach to stakeholder and issues management is universally best, studying various theories and understanding how to apply them to different ethical challenges will enhance your ability to contribute meaningfully to the resolution of these dilemmas.

Question 1: In 500 words or less, please share how your participation inthe ICSC Foundation Mentorship Program has impacted you professionally and/orpersonally. :

Participating in the ICSC Foundation Mentorship Program has been one of the most valuable professional experiences I have had while preparing to enter the commercial real estate industry. As a student studying Real Estate and Urban Economics at the University of Connecticut, I have learned a strong foundation of industry concepts in the classroom. However, working with my mentor, Reginald Livingston, helped bridge the gap between academic knowledge and how the industry actually operates in the real world.

One of the most impactful aspects of the mentorship was gaining a clearer understanding of different career paths within commercial real estate. Through our conversations, I learned more about roles such as brokerage, investment analysis, and other positions within the industry. Hearing how these roles function from someone with years of experience helped me better understand what skills are most valuable and how different jobs contribute to the broader deal-making process.

Another major takeaway from the mentorship was learning how important relationships are in commercial real estate. My mentor shared practical advice about networking and maintaining professional connections. One suggestion that stuck with me was keeping an organized spreadsheet of contacts and noting the last time I spoke with them so I can stay in touch. This may seem simple, but it reinforced how relationship-driven the industry truly is and gave me a system to build and maintain my network over time.

I have always considered myself a self-starter with many ideas about my career path, but having an experienced professional to talk through those ideas with was extremely valuable. For example, I initially believed brokerage was not the right starting point for me, but my mentor explained that brokerage can actually be a great place to begin. He emphasized that it helps develop important skills such as underwriting deals and building relationships while also giving exposure to a wide range of transactions. That perspective helped me think about the early stages of my career in a more open and strategic way.

Beyond career advice, the mentorship also gave me insight into how industry professionals approach opportunities like ICSC events. My mentor has shared what he looks for when hiring and how professionals use conferences to strengthen relationships and meet new people. These conversations have helped me better understand how to approach networking with curiosity, respect, and appreciation.

Looking ahead, I hope to attend ICSC Las Vegas, and my mentor has already offered to spend time with me there. Having someone I know and respect within the industry makes the opportunity even more meaningful. This mentorship has not only helped me better understand the commercial real estate industry, but it has also given me confidence as I prepare to begin my career.

Question 2: In 500 words or less, please explain why you are interestedin attending ICSC LAS VEGAS and what you hope to gain from theexperience. :

My interest in attending ICSC Las Vegas comes largely from my experience last summer interning at Soundwater Properties, a commercial real estate investment firm focused primarily on grocery-anchored shopping centers. Because the company is a smaller and growing firm, I had the opportunity to work closely with the co-owner throughout the summer and see many different parts of the business.

During the internship, I was exposed to much more than just acquisitions. I saw how deals are sourced, analyzed, and negotiated, but I also learned about the operational side of shopping centers, including tenant relationships, management decisions, and long-term exit strategies. Seeing how these properties operate over time helped me understand the complexity of the asset class. I also saw firsthand how things can go wrong with a deal and how experienced professionals adapt and still find ways to make the investment successfulor sometimes recognize when it is better to walk away.

Before that internship, shopping centers were not an asset class I had seriously considered pursuing. I had always found multifamily real estate more interesting. However, after spending the summer learning about the intricacies of retail properties, tenant mixes, and grocery-anchored centers in particular, I began to develop a strong interest in this sector of commercial real estate.

Attending ICSC Las Vegas would be an incredible opportunity to continue exploring that interest and help me determine whether retail real estate is the path I want to pursue long term. While my coursework has provided an excellent academic foundation, hearing directly from industry professionals with real-world experience adds a level of insight that cannot be replicated in the classroom.

The educational sessions at the conference are extremely valuable, but I believe one of the most important aspects of the event is the ability to interact with the professionals attending it. Conversations with investors, brokers, developers, and other industry leaders can provide perspectives on current trends, career paths, and opportunities within the retail real estate sector.

I am also excited about the opportunity to meet other students and young professionals who are preparing to enter the industry. Building relationships early in our careers can lead to long-term professional connections that benefit everyone involved.

Ultimately, attending ICSC Las Vegas would allow me to continue learning from experienced professionals, expand my network within the industry, and further evaluate the career path I want to pursue within commercial real estate.
