I. Introduction

There was a newly built telecommunications facility in Antipolo Rizal and

Engineer Lorenzo de Guzman, an Electronics Engineering graduate was assigned by

his immediate superior, the VP for operations to head that facility and he was

given three months to make the facility operational. The Kundiman

Communications Corporation (KCC) Company’s top management is composed of the

President, VP for Marketing, VP for Operations, and the VP for Administration.

It is a local company with more than 2,000 persons in its payroll. Engineer de

Guzman assessed that for the Antipolo unit to operate, it will require the

services of a number of persons skilled in the various activities that will be

undertaken.

Engineer de Guzman has ten years of experience with KCC (five years in the

field and five years in the office), therefore he is familiar with many facets

of the company's operations. Three of the key cops and some of the supervisors

are his pals. Engineer de Guzman was evaluating the building in Antipolo where

he will work when he pondered whether he might persuade upper management to

move some of his colleagues from the head office to his new position.

Engineer de Guzman believed that the different trainings he received from KCC

had adequately prepared him for the technical components of his new position.

His exposure to the many units at the main office will help him with the

administrative parts of his job in certain ways. His education and experiences,

however, have not equipped him with the necessary knowledge.

To find skilled people to fill the different jobs that will be created. To

begin with, he lacks knowledge on the quantity and nature of the positions that

will be created. Engineer de Guzman understands that the performance of the new

facility he is in charge of will determine his future promotion. He believed

that if he could just find the appropriate people, his work would be relatively

easy. With this in mind, he considered his first course of action.

II. Case Story

The Kundiman Communications Corporation (KCC) is a local company with more

than 2,000 persons in its payroll. The company’s top management is composed of

the President, VP for Marketing, VP for Operations, and the VP for

Administration.

A member of the staff, Engineer Lorenzo de Guzman, an electronics engineering

graduate, has just received an order from his immediate superior, the VP for

Operations, to head the newly built telecommunications facility in Antipolo,

Rizal. So far, he is the only company personnel identified with the new

facility. He was given three months to make the facility operational.

Engineer de Guzman appraised that for the Antipolo unit to operate, it will

require the services of a number of persons skilled in the various activities

that will be undertaken.

As he has been working with KCC for ten years (five years in the field and

five years in the head office), Engineer de Guzman is familiar with many

aspects of the firm’s operation. Some of the supervisors and three of the key

officers are his friends.

Engineer de Guzman felt that the various trainings KCC provided him had

really prepared him well for the technical aspects of his new job. His exposure

to the different units at the head office will also be useful in some ways to

the administrative aspects of his position. However, his trainings and

experiences have not provided him with the expertise to recruit qualified

persons to occupy the various positions that will be created.

To begin with, he does not even have the information on the number and nature

of the positions to be created.

As he was inspecting the building in Antipolo where he will hold office,

Engineer de Guzman wondered if he could convince top management to transfer

some of his acquaintances in the head office to his new assignment.

Engineer de Guzman knows that his next promotion will depend much on the

success of the new facility under his direction. He thought that if he could

only get the right persons, his job would not be too difficult. With this in

mind, he pondered on what his first move must be.

III. Statement of the Problem

Our group stated two problems first, how does engineer De Guzman hire

qualified personnel in various newly created positions? Second, how will he be

able to know the data regarding to the number of required faculty and their

work depictions?

IV. Conclusion

Our group concludes that, he may inquire the administration around the

numbers and positions required within the recently built company. Besides, he

may look for offer assistance from his companions and inquire those alluded

experts that will possess the assigned occupations. Finally, he may go to a

workshop that will pick up experience and information in recruiting.

V. Recommendation

The finest thing that Design de Guzman can do is to go to a few courses that

will pick up his experiences in enlisting some employees that would fit the

positions within the company. In this way, he can investigate his thoughts

about choosing the proper individuals that can offer assistance for him or the

company to be fruitful.
