|
Concise yet informative overview of the whole project; each strategy is presented in a clear, logical and effective way with some inaccuracies. The poster is easy to read. |
A project overview is presented; however, it could have been more detailed in the actions/timelines/metrics. Better attention could have been given to the layout (in terms of use of space). |
Some important pieces of information are missing (i.e., one part of the strategy is completely missing). Lack of flow, clarity and details. |

Points |
Outstanding definition of job analysis, its usefulness, suggested method and technique(s) to conduct it. Insightful discussion of how the key elements of the brands EVP inform the attraction and recruitment strategy, together with the competences resulting from the job analysis.
|
Excellent definition of job analysis, its usefulness, suggested method and technique(s) to conduct it. Comprehensive discussion of how the key elements of the brands EVP inform the attraction and recruitment strategy, together with the competences resulting from the job analysis. There are one or two minor inaccuracies in one of the elements above. |
The definition of job analysis, its usefulness, suggested method and technique(s) are very good, with only few minor inaccuracies. The discussion of how the key elements of the brands EVP inform the attraction and recruitment strategy is very good, although the contribution of the competences resulting from the JA could have been better developed/highlighted.
|
The definition of job analysis, its usefulness, suggested method and technique(s) could have been more detailed/specific or they are quite descriptive. The discussion of how the key elements of the brands EVP inform the attraction and recruitment strategy is incomplete/not fully accurate. |
Some attempt to define what job analysis is; however, the suggestion of either a JA method and/or a technique is missing/generic/inaccurate. There is an attempt to propose and discuss an attraction and recruitment strategy with some mention to the brand EVP; however, this should have been better supported with scientific evidence and/or the contribution of the JA to the recruitment strategy is missing/inaccurate. |
A section on job analysis is missing. The attraction and recruitment strategy are briefly mentioned with major misunderstandings and/or there is no discussion of the contribution of the brand EVP and JA to those. |

Points |
Outstanding justification (based on scientific evidence) for the choice of the selection methods, with reference to their validity, reliability and practicality. Balanced consideration of the contemporary issues (e.g., digital, D&I, etc.) affecting the feasibility of each method and how to manage them, which generates new insight and understanding. Highly detailed indications are given for a smooth and balanced implementation of the selection programme.

Excellent justification (based on scientific evidence) for the choice of the selection methods, with reference to their validity, reliability and practicality, with one or two minor inaccuracies. Balanced consideration of the contemporary issues affecting the feasibility of each method and how to manage them. Detailed indications are given for a smooth and balanced implementation of the selection programme. |
Clear justification (based on scientific evidence) for the choice of the selection methods, with reference to their validity, reliability and practicality. Balanced consideration of the contemporary issues affecting the feasibility of each method and how to manage them, with either few minor gaps or one major inaccuracy. Very good indications are given for a smooth and balanced implementation of the selection programme, although they could have been more specific. |
Good justification (based on scientific evidence) for the choice of the selection methods, however the reference to their validity, reliability or practicality could have been discussed more clearly a/o in a more critical and less descriptive way. Some consideration of the contemporary issues to be considered when applying the assessment methods; however, there is not much attention in the implementation plan to balance each method's limitation/weakness.
|
Descriptive discussion on the selection methods to be applied, with poor justification for their choice with regards to their validity, reliability and practicality. There is some attempt at proposing an implementation plan; however, this does not take into consideration the contemporary issues affecting each method implementation, nor how to balance each method's limitation/weakness. |
Vague identification/recommendation of some selection methods; the supporting evidence for their validity, reliability and practicality is missing or inadequate. No implementation plan is provided and/or it is summarised very roughly, with no consideration for a balanced and smooth application of the methods, especially in light of the contemporary issues affecting their implementation. |

Outstanding onboarding strategy, for level of details and justification through supporting evidence and theories. The onboarding process contains insightful and specific recommendations with regards to pre-boarding and after hiring actions, tailored to the company of choice. Outstanding reference to ethical and inclusive practices.
|
Highly detailed onboarding strategy, with full justification through supporting evidence and theory. The onboarding process contains specific recommendations with regards to pre-boarding and after hiring actions tailored to the company of choice. There are only one or two minor inaccuracies in one of the elements above. Excellent reference to ethical and inclusive practices. |
Clear onboarding strategy, although some elements could have been justified further (e.g., more supporting evidence). The onboarding process contains specific recommendations with regards to pre-boarding and after hiring actions, with few minor inaccuracies. Very good reference to ethical and inclusive practices.
|
The onboarding strategy contains all the main elements with reference to pre-boarding and after hiring actions. However, the strategy is not always well justified or it is sometimes generic with regards to how those actions will be delivered. The reference to ethical and inclusive practices could have been stronger/clearer.
|
There is an onboarding strategy, but either it is not justified/supported by academic references or it is not tailored to the company of choice. The reference to ethical and inclusive practices is missing.
|
A vague onboarding strategy, with no support from theory nor specific recommendations/actions to be implemented. No reference to ethical and inclusive practices, nor the strategy is tailored to the company of choice
