In the “I Am Qualified, Why Not Me?” case study, we are presented with Bobby Bret, a Junior Accountant with Crystal Production who had applied for the internal post of Senior Accountant. After having twice applied for the position, Bobby’s consideration was overshot and the positions were filled by external candidates. While Bobby was initially excited to advance within the company, he eventually became disillusioned when even those that were well qualified were overlooked for open positions. Through the company’s formal internal posting program is meant to increase employee retention, career development, and employee recognition, the acquisition of external talent and the controller’s approach to Bobby’s inquiries decreases the company’s brand validity while leaving current talent disenchanted. In the end, Crystal Productions should task themselves with finding a balanced and collective attitude toward their current and future talent acquisition needs by engaging in a new approach to their internal bidding policy instead of having a phantom job approach. Bobby Bret, a Junior Accountant at Crystal Productions had aspirations of advancing within the company. While working at Crystal Productions, Bobby had responded to two internal postings for Senior Accountant which was later offered to external candidates. After having been overlooked twice for a senior position, Bobby decided not to apply when a supervisory position was presented, but then became disenchanted when external talent with less experience than some of the internal senior talent were hired. At this moment, Bobby decided to approach the controller.

More specifically, his argument revolves around two main claims: that old hiring practices are ineffective in identifying good candidates and are rife with conscious and unconscious biases, and that the use of people analytics greatly eliminates the shortcomings of the old methods as well as improves worker productivity. The article begins by providing some historical context to the discussion of the hiring process. Peck says that although companies have shifted towards a more subjective, “ad-hoc” style process, they can now return to the more objective methods prevalent in the 1950s as modern technology has improved upon its inefficiencies and ineffectiveness. He starts off with discussing Knack, “a start up based in Silicon Valley”. These games have “been designed by a team of neuroscientists, psychologists, and data scientists”. He shows the results of this method in use. “Without meeting or interviewing the people who’d propose them, without knowing the title … or academic pedigree, Knack’s algorithm had identified the people whose ideas panned out. The top ten percent of the ideas generators as predicted by Knack were in fact those who’d gone furthest in the process”. With this startling result, Peck impresses on the reader that people analytics can be a valid tool. Afterwards, Peck discredits and describes the shortcomings of the old hiring practices. He uses
Brook attributed his failure in the special promotion project to external factors like inexperience of his team members and a deep budget cut by the management. Although these could be possible explanations for the setback, Brook failed to understand that his management style, communication and co-ordination with his team along with his lack of research and knowledge in the American African and Latino markets as contributing factors might be a reason too. Therefore Brook’s Locus of Control was external which means he attributed his failure to external factors but not to his personal traits or lack of competence.
Many corporations struggle with bringing in quality talent into business (Paradise, 2010). Consequently, as the workforce continues to change at warp speed, talent benchmarking strategy is the biggest challenge management faces now and the next five years in all forms of succession planning (Sims, 2014). A strategy to overcome talent benchmarking is having talent reviews along with meeting notes (Sims, 2014). Documenting what took place in the talent review is essential for management to get planning underway and refer to the order of what should happen first, second, and so forth in talent management (Sims, 2014). Although it might be true that talent benchmarking being the mightiest challenge in informal succession
However, due in part to these acquisitions, the Wallace Group faces several problems. The first issue relates to their hiring process and how they choose who to promote. Instead of hiring qualified employees with the proper expertise, they focus more on cutting costs, therefore hiring non-qualified employees. One example of this process is, instead of creating a management development program for training and recruitment of new management, they just promote within. However, they promote technicians to management positions without the proper training, because it's cheaper to do that.

Moreover, job performance, education, knowledge, and training tend to mold each individual in a distinctive way and unfortunately, some personalities just do not mix. For instance, it is obvious that some of the senior partners just did not agree with Mike Roth’s personality and aggressive nature, which caused a colossal clash within the firm. Informal deficiencies occur when there is some sort of break down in communications in regards to any type of workplace environment.
