Scenario Summary

A Kansas City
based supplier of health care information technology (HCIT) solutions has
recently hired you as a Human Resource Manager. You are in charge of hiring new
medical consultants for the sales division of this organization. Due to the
competitive marketplace, sales and revenues are at an all-time low. During your
interview, you stated that you could serve as a valuable asset to this company.
You noted your long-standing history of selecting the best candidates for a
variety of positions and stated that you could bring the sales division back to
its place as the leading resource of your organization. You want to perform well
at this job because it is a big career move for you.  You know that if
people trust your judgement about the quality of the people you hire, that they
will trust your judgement about other matters as well.  Also, the more
successful HR managers in this company tend to move to higher positions within
the organization.

Your Role

Your job is to hire a medical
consultant to assist with sales of your latest HCIT solutions to a global
marketplace. This job requires that the consultant be articulate, sophisticated,
and knowledgeable about medical terminology and technology. The job requires
frequent travel Monday through Friday in order for the consultant to work with
those in the prospective company. This job also includes spending some leisure
time after 5:00 P.M. with prospective clients.

order to be successful.
