Subject: Staffing Solutions for Amazon.com, Inc.
Amazon.com, Inc. plans to develop a new system of delivering packages known as Amazon Prime Air in several years. It should start with the active use of flying vehicles such as drones to deliver the packages in 2015 (Amazon Prime Air, 2013). Amazon is one of the most influential companies specializing in the e-commerce around the globe, and Amazon Prime Air is expected to be the great innovation within the market to increase the company’s competitive advantage (Banker, 2013, p. 4; Donici et al., 2013, p. 253; “Tools of the trade”, 2013, p. 58).
The company plans to implement the delivery system not only in the United States but also in the foreign countries, and the development of the system requires the organization of an effective team to cope with all the issues associated with the project’s development and implementation (Banker, 2013, p. 4).
Today, Amazon needs professionals in the fields of technologies and innovation, specialists in delivery questions, staff ready to work in foreign countries, and specialists in resolving the legal questions. Kelly Services can be helpful to provide the company with the necessary assistance in finding appropriate candidates and hiring the staff. There is a range of reasons to refer to Kelly Services’ assistance in hiring specialists for Amazon:
- The development and implementation of the new delivery system is a difficult process based on using innovative technologies and knowledge in aviation (Gross, 2013). Amazon should hire more specialists in the field of aviation technology, delivery technologies, and aviation consultants.
- People specializing in resolving the issues associated with weather problems and drawbacks in the system should be hired to control the work of algorithms and to correct errors.
- The project is expected to be developed in several stages. The employees to complete the short-term and long-term tasks can be selected effectively with the help of Kelly Services.
- The process of hiring delivery persons from different states of the USA is challenging, and Kelly Services can assist effectively.
- Amazon intends to start the use of drones in foreign countries, and Kelly Services’ assistance is necessary to develop the hiring process globally (Gross, 2013).
- To resolve the questions with the Federal Aviation Administration, it is necessary to hire consultants in the field to guarantee the start and development of the project.
While developing and implementing the new delivery system based on drone technologies, Amazon should pay attention not only to the expected benefits of the project associated with reducing the delivery time but also to the challenges facing the company today, when it is necessary to realize the intensive hiring procedures to select specialists who can contribute to the project’s development significantly. Kelly Services has great experience in selecting specialists in many fields and according to different requirements.
Conclusion
Professionals of different levels and specialists in various spheres should be hired additionally to contribute to the successful realization of Amazon’s project. As a result, Kelly Services’ assistance can be necessary to organize the hiring process thoroughly, to focus on the company’s requirements, and to expand the hiring activities in foreign countries. That is why, choosing Kelly Services for organizing and completing the hiring process, Amazon can respond to the project’s short-term goals and the company’s long-term goals.
