CASE

You are to assume the role of director of human resources for SOCIETY OF OUTDOORS ENTHUSIASTS, a nonprofit organization that promotes outdoor activities and encourages local members to meet for group activities. The executive director (judge) has asked you to describe how social media can be used to advertise an open position at the organization’s headquarters.

Currently, the SOCIETY OF OUTDOORS ENTHUSIASTS has 300,000 members world wide and has extremely active Facebook and Twitter accounts, each with over 150,000 followers. The social media followers are not all official members of the organization. Recently, the organization began Instagram and currently has 50,000 followers.

The SOCIETY OF OUTDOORS ENTHUSIASTS has 45 full time employees that run the organization. Recently, the director of marketing resigned from the organization, leaving an open position. The director of marketing position requires a minimum education requirement of a bachelor’s degree, five years of experience in marketing or a related field and the willingness and ability to move to the location of the organization. Unfortunately, SOCIETY OF OUTDOORS ENTHUSIASTS is unable to offer any relocation reimbursement.

The executive director (judge) wants to only advertise the director of marketing position on social media rather than using employment websites or using agencies. SOCIETY OF OUTDOORS ENTHUSIASTS has never used social media for hiring purposes before, so the executive director (judge) has many questions and concerns.

The executive director (judge) would like you describe how social media can be used to advertise the director of marketing position. The executive director (judge) would also like to know:

• Will advertising the position on social media result in thousands of applicants?
• What would be our strategy for posting the job on social media?
• How can we be sure we only consider truly qualified candidates?
• Should we advertise the open position on all three of our social media accounts?

You will present information to the executive director (judge) in a role-play to take place in the executive director’s (judge’s) office. The executive director (judge) will begin the role-play by greeting you and asking to hear your ideas. After you have presented the information and have answered the executive director’s (judge’s) questions, the executive director (judge) will conclude the role-play by thanking you for your work.
