Sources:

The following sources includes web based articles and a university research paper that contain information
about the effectiveness of Human Resources Departments and their faults in the hiring process from the
perspective of job seekers, as well as those who work in Human Resources. Based upon the outline in my
proposal draft, the sources below will be used initially to explain the roles of the Human Resources Department.
Out of those roles, most of my focus will be placed on their role in hiring new employees. I will then focus on
the productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of the Human Resources Department in this role. Since my early
research proved that the effectiveness of the Human Resources Department in hiring employees is very low, I
will try to come up with an effective solution to this problem which just might include the removal of Human
Resources Departments based on an article in my sources.
