The organization for which you are a human resources manager has assigned you the responsibility to source a position in Ndjamena, Chad. Chad is a nation in north Central Africa that shares borders with Libya, Sudan, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic. The company is about to purchase several local factories, build two more, and set up a regional logistics hub. The installation is expected to have a large number of U.S. expatriates and third-country nationals that are already in the process of candidacy and selection. The company has contracted for housing and security, and transportation resources are currently in progress. Two skills have been determined to be essential for viable operation of the current facilities as well as the new factories and company housing facility. The two requirements that you have been assigned are for a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner and a mid-career safety professional with extensive experience in manufacturing settings. The medical professional may be either a U.S. citizen, board-certified by a U.S. professional organization, or from the governing professional body of a developed nation. The safety professional requirements are quite specific, and the sourcing process may be limited to the United States and the EU, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
