Case Assignment
You are the HR Manager for your curent employer (or past employer if you are not employed). This morning your receptionist turned in his two-weeks’ notice, giving you just 14 days within which to hire his replacement.
Keeping this scenario in mind, address the following questions in a 4- to 5-page essay submission:
Use the following details to provide a quantitative analysis of the assignment questions.

Historically, you know that your time to hire in the past was 23 days, well above the 14 days you have now, so you are concerned about being short-staffed and overworking your employees. Based upon the above three HR metrics information, you need to compute just one of the top three HR metrics for job openings: time to fill. You will then use that datum to think critically about the following questions:
What and who do you need to consider once you receive a two-weeks’ notice?
Analyze the impact this employee’s resignation can have on your organization. Who is impacted by the resignation of a receptionist?
What is the time to fill for this vacated position? Discuss how this metric can affect your organization’s current employees.
Knowing the average historical time to hire timeline for the hotel is 23 days, how does that affect your decision for the steps in the hiring process used to fill this position? Must you go through them all, or just certain ones? What could happen if you did not go through all the steps?
Of all the HR metrics you learned about in this module, which one metric is the most important for you in your job as the HR manager? Explain your rationale for selecting this HR metric.
