The goal of this master thesis is to summarise the theoretical knowledge and subsequently analyse the so-called Assessment Centre, a modern methodology used for recruitment of employees out of a larger pool of applicants. A unified approach to the recruitment process has been developed based on the results of this analysis The analysis includes a detailed insight into the preparation and the course of the Assessment Centre, a competency assessment of the committee members, assessment of the job description, job requirements and selection criteria and an analysis of satisfaction of the applicants themselves. The analysis was conducted on two workplaces of the Insurance Company "XY", with each of them having a different approach towards the assessment centre. Free as well as partially standardised observations were used as a methodological background for the assessment centre analysis. The assessment of satisfaction of the AC participants was conducted with the help of questionnaires.

Unemployment among formerly incarcerated citizens is a complex problem that continues to grow. Previous reentry studies describe the collateral effects of incarceration on employment from the perspective of formerly incarcerated individuals, yet little academic research exists regarding reentry practitioners' perceptions of constraints during the job search process. Using Goldratt's theory of constraints as the foundation, the purpose of this case study of reentry and employment in a mid-Atlantic state was to explore from the perspective of practitioners, the types of constraints individuals with criminal records face during the job search process, the most difficult phase of the job search process, and recommendations on improving employment outcomes. Data for this study were obtained from 20 reentry professionals in Maryland, who completed an online, open-ended response survey. Data were inductively coded and subjected to thematic analysis procedure. The results showed that practitioners perceived the background check to be the most difficult phase in the job search process, and that external and environmental constraints such as employer bias and social stigma prevent individuals with criminal records from securing job offers. The results also showed that reentry professionals support automatic record expungement, record shielding, employer partnerships, and employment programming that provides job leads, resume building, and mock interview assistance. The positive social change implications stemming from this study include policy recommendations to policy makers to include centralizing and expanding the location of statewide employment centers, record shielding under the Second Chance Act, and fair education access through Ban-the Box for state colleges.

This article pretends to explain a problematic that must be analyzed from two perspectives, Labor and Tax law; thereby it will provide adequate solutions. Therefore, the authors will board the problematic of labor migration specifically geared to the hiring of foreign workers and its taxations methods. Furthermore, the authors will explain that the determination of the condition of domiciled or not of the foreigner, is not sufficient with the analysis of the internal tax laws; in some cases it is also necessary to analyze international standards that favor the taxpayer. / El presente artículo pretende exponer una problemática que debe ser analizada desde dos ramas del Derecho, tanto desde la perspectiva laboral como desde la tributaria, para de esa forma brindar soluciones idóneas. En ese sentido, los autores abordarán la problemática de la migración laboral concretamente en torno a la contratación de trabajadores extranjeros y la forma de tributación de los mismos; asimismo, explicarán que, para determinar la condición de domiciliado o no del extranjero, se deberá entrar en un análisis no solo en base a las normas tributarias internas, sino que también en determinados casos se deberá analizar normas internacionales que favorecen al contribuyente.

The programs considered comprised the period of two years: 2014/2015. Effectiveness was meant to be an integrated concept, which basic elements are the company and employee needs, aligned to the company main strategic plans. The methodology included an extensive documentary research, through managerial reports, organizational climate surveys and current human resources rules and procedures adopted by the company. From these sources, semi structured interviews were conducted to the selected employees by the internal hiring programs, whose professional profiles are comprised of IT and Telecommunication college graduates. Statements taken during the interviews were then analyzed through career, organization and personal perspectives. In order to analyze the interview results, academic research regarding contract theory, anchor of careers, motivation and protean careers were reviewed. The current research brings valuable resources to career management and to internal hiring programs, considering the complex organizational arrangement of the specific organization.

Abstract Currently, the issue of a growing extremist right-wing orientation in professional soldiers serving in the Army of the Czech Republic has acquired top priority. This diploma work should present a targeted proposal of changes in psycho-social tests and the whole selection system of candidates applying for the army professional status. The objective of my diploma work is thus summarised in its very name ?A Proposal of Health and Psycho-Social Criteria for the Purposes of Hiring New Professional Soldiers?. The significance or danger of right-wing extremist opinions in professional soldiers serving in the Army of the Czech Republic cannot be seen in its current massive occurrence but in the trend of the growth of such negative phenomena. Based on the experimental section of my diploma work consisting in the collection and evaluation of opinions and standpoints of experienced staff members responsible for the selection of the Ministry of Defence personnel, two hypotheses were established. H1. Current psychosocial test do not comply with the hiring reguirements related to candidates for a professional army career. H2. Health checks as a component of the hiring procedure do not include the detection of external marks or signs which would indicate right-wing extremist views. The respondents who have taken part in my research have dealt with the issue in a most responsible and reliable way. The opinions of former professional soldiers who have been dismissed from the army due to their right-wing extremist opinions and acts have also been of great significance. The conclusions of my diploma work shall be submitted as a proposal for an improved hiring procedure, predominantly as far as psycho-social tests and health examinations are concerned, with the aim of detecting potential latent right-wing extremist inclinations.

Green purchases are part of a strategy for the application of a sustainable country development, considered as ‘a development that satisfies the people’s current necessities without affecting the ability of future generations to satisfy their own’. (Brundtland Report 1987). In the same way, it is part of a strategy to fight the effects of the weather changes or greenhouse that affect our planet and as a consequence the humanity.The green or ecological purchases are simple practices in the developing countries, in most cases in the European countries, but they are not known in Latin American countries. Just Costa Rica is supporting this practice with public institutions, for that reason they will get considerable benefits in its process.The Peruvian government is conformed by more than two thousand public entities, they are formed as national and regional government entities, town halls, decentralized offices, entities in the scope of FONAFE, business treatment and charitable work. These entities programmed purchases in the year 2008 approximately 58.234 million soles. However, just a few of the purchases had an ecological purpose.The following article has the objective to show the benefits of the green or ecological purchases, and the experience in developed countries to decide its application in Peru. In this way, this study pretends to join a number of experiences of countries in their green purchases and so it is divided in four parts. The first part referrs to the framework of the green purchases and it refers to the different concepts that explain those factors that push the United States to apply this strategy. The second part is about the international experience with the best practices. The third part shows the possibility of the green purchases in the country, and in the fourth part conclusions are presented. / Las compras verdes se convierten en parte de una estrategia para la aplicación del desarrollo sostenible en un país, entendido este como el «desarrollo que satisface a las necesidades actuales de las personas sin comprometer la capacidad de las futuras generaciones para satisfacer las suyas» (Informe Brundtland, 1987). Así, también, es parte de una estrategia que trata de contribuir a combatir los efectos del cambio climático e invernadero que ponen en peligro la existencia de nuestro planeta y, por lo tanto, también de la humanidad.Las compras verdes o ecológicas son prácticas comunes en los países desarrollados, sobre todo europeos; sin embargo, son muy poco conocidas en los países de América Latina. Solo Costa Rica está promocionando esta práctica en sus instituciones públicas y ha obtenido considerables beneficios en su implementación.El Estado peruano está compuesto por más de 2 mil entidades públicas contratantes, las cuales están agrupadas en entidades de gobierno nacional y regional, municipalidades, instancias descentralizadas, entidades bajo el ámbito del FONAFE (Fondo Nacional de Financiamiento de la Actividad Empresarial del Estado), de tratamiento empresarial y sociedades de beneficencia. Estas entidades programaron compras en el año 2008 por la cantidad de 58.234 millones de nuevos soles. Sin embargo, muy pocas de dichas compras tuvieron un criterio ecológico en su proceso de selección.El presente artículo tiene por objetivo mostrar las bondades de las compras verdes o ecológicas y la experiencia en países desarrollados, y plantear su aplicación en nuestro país. Así, este trabajo trata de recopilar una serie de experiencias de países en sus compras verdes y se divide en cuatro partes. La primera parte se refiere al marco conceptual de las compras verdes y abarca, principalmente, los diversos conceptos que explican los factores que impulsan a los Estados a implementar dicha estrategia. La segunda parte presenta la experiencia internacional en la que se describen las mejores prácticas. La tercera parte analiza la posibilidad de la aplicación de las compras verdes en el país y, en la cuarta parte, se presentan las conclusiones del artículo

O estudo foi estruturado em dois eixos. O primeiro consistiu no levantamento e na análise, numa perspectiva histórica, da legislação que governou a contratação de professores de 1974 a 2009. O segundo determinou o exame das práticas de recrutamento realmente realizadas. Para isso, foram levantados e estudados os dados estatísticos disponíveis sobre os professores e seus contratos no Departamento de Recursos Humanos da Secretaria Estadual de Educação; foi também realizada uma observação de inspiração etnográfica, no ano de 2009, em diferentes etapas de atribuição de aulas, numa das Diretorias Regionais de Ensino, com vistas a acompanhar in loco os processos de recrutamento e inserção de professores efetivos temporários e eventuais. O estudo apontou que: (i) a atuação dos professores na escola tem uma relação intrínseca com a sua situação de emprego, ou seja, se ele possui ou não um contrato de trabalho e se ele tem ou não estabilidade no emprego; (ii) sua atuação docente, quando analisada do ponto de vista da formação inicial e continuada, tende a culpabilizar o professor pela situação da escola, sem considerar as condições objetivas do exercício do seu trabalho; (iii) o processo de obtenção do emprego e a inserção na escola são reveladores tanto dos processos pelos quais se constrói o lugar objetivo do professor no sistema de ensino quanto de sua posição social. / Abstract: This research aims to contribute to the understanding of teacher's condition in elementary school in São Paulo by the study of recruitment practices and forms of insertion of teachers in schools which make up this network of education. The study was structured in two approaches. In the first, the survey and analysis of the legislation that governed the hiring of teachers from 1974 to 2009 were carried out in a historical perspective. In the second, it was accomplished the examination of recruitment practices which are really carried out in the schools. Thereby, the available statistical data on teachers and their contracts with the Department of Human Resources at the State Department of Education were surveyed and studied. In addition, it was accomplished the observation of ethnographic inspiration, in 2009, in different stages of classes attribution in one of the Regional Boards of Education, aiming to follow in loco the processes of recruitment and insertion of temporary effective and eventual teachers. The study showed that: (i) the teachers' performance in school has an intrinsic relationship with their employment situation, in other words, whether or not they have a labor contract or stability in the work, (ii) their teaching performance, when analyzed from the viewpoint of initial and ongoing formation, tend to blame the teachers for the school situation, without considering the objective conditions of the practice of their employment, and (iii) the process of obtaining the employment and the insertion in school reveal both the processes by which the objective place of teachers is developed in the education system and their social position. / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

The employment of persons with criminal records has become an increasingly important issue in the Western world. Literature on Canadian hiring practices in relation to persons with criminal records, however, is severely lacking. This thesis aims to make a significant contribution to the field of criminology by investigating how employers evaluate the employability of persons with criminal records, as well as their attitudes and perceptions towards this population. Through eight open-ended and low-structured interviews with owners and/or hiring managers in the city of Ottawa and using the theoretical framework of H. Blumer’s (1969) symbolic interactionism (SI), E. Goffman’s (1963) stigma, and J. Braithwaite’s (1989) reintegrative shaming for analysis, this thesis attempts to gain insight into the barriers and challenges of professional integration for persons with criminal records. This study ultimately revealed that: (1) criminal record verifications were seldom used among employers to check for past convictions; (2) employers were willing to hire persons with criminal records (under specific conditions); and that (3) employability was based primarily on whether the candidate in question had the skillset required for the position, making the criminal record a secondary consideration. Contrary to popular belief, the results also suggest that while employers may be socially aware of this stigma, not all engage in stigmatizing and/or shaming behaviour towards persons with criminal records during the hiring process. Further, it is often the case that when making decisions, employers must decide between catering to the needs of their business or hiring a prospective candidate despite their criminal record. This study opens new avenues of inquiry concerning persons with criminal records and professional reintegration while proposing future directions for research. RÉSUME La réinsertion professionnelle des personnes judiciarisées est un sujet qui a acquis une grande importance dans le monde occidental. Toutefois, la littérature détaillant les pratiques d’embauche des employeurs Canadiens est limitée. Cette thèse vise donc à contribuer au champ de connaissance sur le sujet. Elle a pour objectif d’analyser comment les employeurs évaluent l’employabilité des personnes avec un casier judiciaire, leurs attitudes ainsi que leurs perceptions de cette population. Sur la base de huit entretiens ouverts et non-structurés avec des propriétaires et/ou responsables du recrutement dans la ville d’Ottawa et en utilisant le cadre théorique de l’interactionnisme symbolique d’H. Blumer (1968), la théorie du stigmate d’E. Goffman (1963) ainsi que celle du reintegrative shaming de J. Braithwaite (1989), cette thèse aspire à une meilleure compréhension des obstacles dans la réinsertion professionnelle des personnes avec un casier judiciaire. Cette étude révèle que (1) la fréquence des vérifications des casiers judiciaire est rare, (2) que les employeurs désirent embaucher les personnes judiciarisées (mais sous certaines conditions) et (3) que l’employabilité est basée principalement sur les compétences requises pour le poste. Le casier judiciaire devient donc une considération secondaire. Ces résultats suggèrent que même si les employeurs sont conscients du stigmate, un comportement stigmatisant or humiliant envers les personnes avec un casier judiciaire n’est pas la norme lors du processus d’embauche. Lors de la décision finale, le dilemme des employeurs porte davantage sur les besoins de leur entreprise versus ceux du candidat que sur le casier judiciaire de ce dernier.
