INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - MORNING [HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING]
Flor and Sarah are seated in a conference room, having a
meeting.
Flor
(Puts down papers)
Sarah, we have big goals for the
marketing team this year, so
we’re planning to expand. We’ll
need to hire three specialists,
ideally before the end of Q3.
Sarah
Got it. Do we know what specific
roles we’re looking to fill?
Flor
Yes, but it's still just a
general idea. I’m thinking we’ll
need a content strategist, a
digital advertising specialist,
and possibly someone focused on
analytics, but we’ll need to
iron out the details.
Sarah
That makes sense. I’ll start by
reviewing the current team’s
skills to see where the gaps
are. Then I can draft detailed
job descriptions and outline a
recruitment plan.
Flor
(Looking through the papers)
Sarah (CONT’D)
I’ll also explore some sourcing
strategies to ensure we get
strong candidates in the
pipeline. Should we schedule a
follow-up to go over timelines
and budget?
 2.

Flor
Yes, let’s plan on discussing
that later this week. I want to
make sure we’re aligned to
attract top talent.
Sarah
Sounds good. I’ll put together
an initial plan and bring it to
the next meeting.

They nod in agreement and start wrapping up the meeting.

CUT TO:
INT. COMPANY BUILDING - WEEKS LATER [RECRUITMENT]
Flor and Sarah are meeting up briefly to finalize the job
posting.
Flor
Sarah, have we finalized the job
postings for the new roles yet?
Sarah
Almost. I’ve drafted the
listings based on our
discussion. I’ll share them on
our company website, LinkedIn,
and other job boards later
today.
Flor
That sounds like a solid start.
Just make sure to emphasize the
benefits—flexible work,
professional development
opportunities, and so on.
Sarah
Good point. I’ll make sure those
stand out in the postings.

CUT TO:
INT. COMPANY LOBBY - AFTERNOON [RECRUITMENT]
A few days later, Sarah is discussing the applicant pool
with a colleague from HR, Alex.
 3.

Alex
(Hands Sarah a cup of
coffee)
How’s the response been to the
job ads?
Sarah
Pretty strong so far. We’ve
received over a hundred
applications. I’ll use the
Applicant Tracking System to
screen for candidates who meet
the minimum qualifications.
Alex
Once you’ve shortlisted, are you
handling the phone screenings?
Sarah
Yes. I’ll start reaching out to
candidates tomorrow. I need to
get a sense of their
communication skills and how
they approach problem-solving
before passing them on for the
next round.
Alex
Makes sense. Let me know if you
need help narrowing it down
further or coordinating the
interviews.
Sarah
Thanks, Alex. I’ll keep you in
the loop.

Sarah returns to her desk and begins reviewing

applications with the ATS, preparing to contact
candidates for phone screenings.

CUT TO:
INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - MORNING [SELECTION]
Flor and Sarah are seated at a table, reviewing notes
from the first round of interviews.
Flor
(Looking through the
applicants’ resumes)
 4.

This candidate’s resume is

strong, and they’ve got great
technical experience, but their
communication skills didn’t come
across as strong in the
interview.
Sarah
I noticed that too... They’re
skilled, but we need someone who
can collaborate effectively, not
just with the team but also with
clients... Let’s prioritize
candidates who demonstrate
strong communication and
interpersonal skills moving
forward.
Flor
Alright. Let’s refine our
questions for the next round to
focus more on teamwork and
problem-solving in group
settings.

Flor and Sarah nod in agreement and prepare for the next
round of interviews.

CUT TO:
INT. SARAH’S OFFICE - AFTERNOON [SELECTION]
Sarah is seated across from a candidate at their desk,
conducting a one-on-one interview.)
Sarah
So, tell me about your
experience in social media
marketing.
Emily
I’ve spent the past three years
managing social media accounts
for a small business. I handled
content creation, scheduled
posts, and analyzed performance
metrics across platforms like
Instagram, Facebook, and
Twitter.
Sarah
That’s great. Can you share an
example of a campaign you worked
on that delivered strong
results?
 5.

Emily
Sure. Last year, I launched a
campaign for a holiday
promotion. I increased
engagement by 40% and drove a
20% increase in online sales by
creating targeted ads and
leveraging user-generated
content.
Sarah
Hmm... Impressive. How do you
typically collaborate with other
teams, like design or sales?
Emily
Collaboration was a big part of
my role. I worked closely with
the design team to ensure
visuals matched the messaging,
and I coordinated with sales to
align campaigns with their
goals.
Sarah
Excellent. Thank you for sharing
that. Do you have any questions
for me about the role or the
team?
Emily
Yes, I would love to know more
about the company’s approach to
team collaboration and how the
marketing team typically works
together.

Sarah
Our team values open
communication and
cross-departmental input. We
have weekly check-ins and use
collaborative tools like Slack
and Trello to stay aligned...

The interview continues as P2 takes notes on the

candidate’s responses.

Welcome! We’re happy to have you

Thank you! I’m really looking
forward to starting.

about our benefits, and an
overview of the company’s
mission and values.

you.

(Turns to Emily)
This is your cubicle. It already
has a computer set up, and
there’s a headset and notepad
ready for you. If you need
anything else, just let me know.
Emily
This looks great. It’s nice to
see how everything’s organized.
The induction continues as Emily begins settling into her
new role.
