Executive Summary (~300 words)

[A series of 4-5 paragraphs that address the following topics. Think about the length of paragraphs. Just convey one main idea with the supporting information per paragraph]

Overall or global statement of outcome/recommendation/deliverables.

• The first paragraph communicates the key message (main or general recommendation/outcome/deliverable of the document).

Background and significance.

• The second paragraph provides the background situation to the problem or needs that have motivated this project.

Brief analysis of the situational needs/problems.

• The third paragraph provides more specific details of the problem or need.

Proposed solutions to the problem(s).

• Leads into the recommendation to solve the problem or meet the situational needs.
• Might also include brief discussion of important points about costs, benefits.

Recommended solution/option/and justification or concluding statement.

• The final paragraph states the specific solution and provides a general justification of taking this option.

Address the timeframe and next step from this point. ]

Hot Tip: Write this last. Make sure you VERY BRIEFLY discuss your whole recruitment and selection strategy and implementation approach in the Executive Summary, not just the recruitment strategy. No need to list the specific tools or approaches that you are using. Just give an overview and 1-2 examples.

1. Introduction (~200 words)

[Write 1-2 paragraphs to introduce the report and outline the purpose of the report and audience for the report.

2. Recruitment Strategy (~800 words)

[Your aim is to develop a well targeted recruitment strategy that:

• Provides a fair playing field for all potential candidates
• Attracts the interest of the right talent pool: focused on active and/or passive jobseekers, according to your analysis of the labour market
• Builds a realistic understanding of the job and company
• Retains the ones most likely to be successful and encourages them to apply]
