Part A: (20 Marks)
You are the business analyst for a mid-sized sales and marketing company. The company is interested in
acquiring a new Human Resources Information System (HRIS). You have been asked by the company CEO to
review the current Recruitment and Hiring process within the company’s HR Department. The following
detail process map and modeling diagram using Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) has been
developed and documented by a third-party consultant. The processes include:
1) Advertise for the Position
2) Source and Screen Applicants
3) Hire the New Resource
Advertise
i)
Screen & Interview
Hire
Review all three processes of the Recruitment and Hiring (above) including the Detail Process Map
for Recruiting and Hiring (See Page 5). Utilize the BPMN* template to map the processes as part of
your analysis. Identify the specific tables in the HRIS DBMS that are impacted by the process step.
Write a brief narrative using Business Process Narrative approach and annotate (by underlining) the
key procedures as part of the current As Is process.
ii) The company CEO has requested a written recommendation for a new online Recruitment and
Hiring program as part of company’s new HRIS. The new program will reduce the number of
process steps (hand-offs) required to: Advertise; Screen and Interview Applicants; and Hire New
Resources. The proposed changes should address improvements across all three process areas as
part of an overall solution. Refer to the following White Paper titled Talent Management Best
Practices for an overview of future trends in Recruitment and Hiring systems.

Write an executive report, 1 – 1.5 pages, 12 pt font, normal margins, using Business Process
Narrative approach, describe your recommended changes to the documented steps/ processes that
could be improved through process automation to meet the proposed solution and what would be
the opportunities/ advantages to the business. Annotate (by underlining) the key automated
procedures that you have introduced as part of your recommendations in your report. Be sure to
cross-reference your improvements to the existing process steps as a way of showing and
comparing the value-add.
Hint #1: Consider the number of steps and connection points with the different database tables that
are used to update the information within each of the three main process areas. Is there any way that
the processes could be reduced by having the system do more functional processing at certain key
points in the cycle – and thereby reduce the number of handoff/procedural steps within each process
area?
Hint #2: Consider the relationship between the three main process areas. are there ways that the
process steps/handoffs between the three main areas could be simplified?
* A Business Process Map Notation (BPMN) Organizer template has been provided for your analysis and
documentation of the key processes .
