As an HR manager for a contemporary firm looking to fill positions I would keep in mind an important factor from Herzberg’s research, that people are truly motivated by factors such as achievement, advancement and development and not so much with compensation (Businessballs, n.d.).

Who are you trying to recruit to work for you (i.e., your audience)?

I would be looking to recruit an individual who is highly-motivated, results-oriented, good oral and written communications skills.  Must have the ability to lead peers, manage multiple complex work assignments and provide innovative ideas to senior leadership staff, willing to cross-train in other departments, open to flexible working conditions, self-motivator.

What sort of compensation and benefits package would you ensure is in place to recruit the best candidates for the position?

The company’s benefits package would offer a competitive salary that is within the middle-market rate for the open positions.  Employee stock-option program, 401(K) with 100% employer matching contribution program, Health, Dental and Vision benefits, Childcare and Elderly care benefits and flexible working arrangements.  Discount programs to local fitness and wellness centers.  Quarterly bonus based on 70% individual performance and 30% company performance.  Company sponsored certified training programs, Education assistance and Company paid Leadership Development Grant for Undergraduate, Graduate and Doctorate degrees.
