According to the professional standards of human resource management, a staffing plan or layout is a system which is meant to monitor, control and regulate the human resource capital for an organization (Bechet, 2008). It is a strategic infrastructure which supports the process of running an organization successfully. A staffing plan uses a carefully set work load to measure outcomes and thus helps an organization to determine its current and future human resource needs (Borgadus, 2004). This paper discusses a staffing plan for E groove systems (Esc). The paper also gives several legally compliant strategies used to recruit the staff members for my organization.
E groove systems corporation (Esc)
E groove systems (Esc) is a web designing organization which provides web designs and development in regards to customer preferences. Our team is always ready to undertake any web work ranging from html to flash. The organization also has a sub specialty in dream weaving operations. We are very resourceful to large scale clients who need photo shop services for their organizations. The purpose of this staffing plan is to make sure that the organization has sufficient staff members who have the right training, skills and experience. This will ensure a successful completion of all the projects the company undertakes in its daily operation. The plan gives a clear number of persons who are required for the organization to continue executing its projects successfully.

Recruitment Strategies
Studies reveal that recruitment is a very essential duty played by the human resource management professionals of any given organization (Bogardus, 2004). Indeed, the performance of an organization is highly depended on the effectiveness of its staff recruitment activities. The other factor which is crucial in the staffing of organizations is compliance to legal requirements. It is very important for organizations to form recruitment strategies which are inclusive of government’s provisions of professional activities (Bechet, 2008). This is a major way of ensuring that a business organization has an efficient and practical team of human resource.
The following are applicable recruitment strategies that can be put in place. These strategies include the key elements of complying with the legal provisions of this state. Hu, Ray and Singh (2007) point out the major elements of a legal recruitment of staff members for organizations. Recruitment should entail specific job identification, an analysis of requirements of the employer, declaration of the probable sources of recruits for various positions and the use of a well trained team of recruiters who are able to evaluate all the candidates.
The organization will conduct a clearly formulated recruitment characterized by transparency. This will involve psychometric tests, written tests, HR interviews, technical interviews and oral presentation of resumes. This is a reliable method which will give the organization an opportunity to create a pool of skilled workers which can be called on board any time. Both internal and external sources of recruits will be very resourceful. Studies have revealed that employee referral is the most effective way of recruiting staff members for information technology firms like E groove Systems Corporation. In reference to this, the recruitment team should target to recruit experienced workers in the organization. However, for the purposes of legal stipulations at the end of the process, the organization should have a group of workers that has a combination of both new and experienced professionals.
A clear specification and explanation of managerial positions should be prioritized. This is because such positions require immediate occupation if the organization will not have to come to any unnecessary halt. The process of staffing is known to be endless and therefore our team will take a category based approach. This approach will create a chance for a step by step recruitment which is likely to be the best since the company is already operating well. This strategic and preplanned recruitment will attract more skilled personnel suitable for the needs of the organization.
