Organisation and methodology:

• Students will work in a group of 3-4 persons that they have chosen themselves.
• The students will decide on ONE specific position they will recruit for within the restaurant
concepts they created in the F&B class. This will be a supervisory or managerial position.

THE ASSIGNMENTS
• Introduction
Provide an introduction to the project including a brief description of the restaurant /
location, (please note that if you copy a part of your F&B project you will need to do an intext
citation) as well as the created organization chart of your employees. Clearly indicate
the title and a summary description for the positions you want to recruit and select.
Please note that you do not need to create a whole job description but just a summary (a

MIHM 7125 - Autumn 2019 Page 1 of 7

 paragraph that outlines the main purpose and scope of the job). See examples below on page 6
and 7 where the summary is indicated with an arrow.

• Profile sheet
Prepare a complete profile sheet of the ideal candidate for this position, with an overview of
essential and desirable KSAs. Please be reminded of Equal Employment Opportunity! You
may use the 7-point plan or the 5-fold grading system, as you prefer. A clear separation of
essential and desirables needs to be shown.

• Recruitment source
Based on your restaurant, and the candidate profile, choose 2 different recruitment sources
you would recommend using to recruit candidates for this position. Clearly explain each
source and argue why you believe this is the best choice. Make sure you use an
argumentation using at least 2 different academic sources.

• Interview questions
The group will prepare a list of 15 specific interview questions that will be used during the
body of a structured selection interview for this position. These questions will be similar for
any candidate and are based on the profile sheet, not on a specific CV.

For each question, indicate clearly:

• which type of question it is (Behavioural, Hypothetical or General question)
and
• which specific KSA or competency you are looking for that is mentioned
in your profile sheet.
A minimum of 3 questions per type of question are required. Do NOT include probing
questions.

• Conclusion
Your conclusion should include your main learning through this project.

Plagiarism:

Plagiarism is the act of presenting another’s ideas or words as one’s own. Cheating includes, but
is not limited to, the intentional falsification or fabrication of any academic activity, unauthorized
copying of another person’s work, or aiding and abetting any such acts.
Particular care must be taken when presenting information that has been obtained from an
internet site. Should this information not be correctly referenced, then you are guilty of
plagiarism and will be penalised accordingly.
With respect to projects/assignments, faculty reserves the right to randomly call upon any
student and ask them to defend their work orally.
Any assignment/exam which is found to contain plagiarism will automatically be awarded a grade
of 0, and an e-mail will be sent to the student or the student’s parents/tutors/sponsors.
Depending on the circumstances, additional penalties could be imposed (see LRM Academic
Regulations, Section 11).
