The dissertation is for my Masters degree in HRM.
The topic title chosen is “How has Graduate
recruitment and selection been affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic”
The main aims in brief for the project are:
To find and analyse pre-pandemic and post-pandemic data from
graduates that were recruited before and after the pandemic, treating them as separate
entities in the data collection section.
The data collection is preferably in the form of a survey/questionnaire
and is required to be distributed to roughly 150 graduates and preferably a
50:50 split of pre and post pandemic graduates. (I have attached a little template)
Chapter 1 Introduction: 1000 words
Chapter 2 Literature review: 4000 words
The literature review needs to be broken down in these
preferable sections –
2.1 Recruitment (general research)
2.2 Selection (General research)
2.3 Post pandemic recruitment and selection practices
2.4 How were pr-pandemic practices of recruitment and selection
Chapter 3 Methadology: 1000 words
Follow usual methodology structure that is preferred by
yourselves however make it clear about the survey (As mentioned in the data
collection tips above)
Research some articles that show how social media is used to
collect data as preferably I would have personally collected data using
linkedin or some form of social media from graduates.
Since the data collection respondants are to PRE-PANDEMIC and
POST-PANDEMIC GRADUATES – find a suitable way to collect data from them (especially
if you can’t use social media to find them) and remember it is around 150
respondants required minimum and 50:50 split of pre and post pandemic graduates.
Chapter 4 Findings/results: 3000 words
