20. Evaluation of Current Recruitment and Selection
Process
• Elgin Pharmacueticals is using the same method of recruitment
(waiting lists) and selection (General Mental Ability and Semi-
Structured Interviews) from last ten years.
20A.U. COLLEGE OF PHARMACEUTICAL

21. WAITING LISTS
• These lists are made up of logical enquiries and applicants hired from the old recruitment
activity. Then it provides suitable applicants that can be assessed when there will be any
vacancy.
• Waiting lists are of low costs and resource efficient. Because candidates are already
selected for the next step but they have to wait for the vacant positions in the company.
• These are hard to manage because these are spoiled quickly. Applications have very
limited life, as candidates interest may change to other jobs.
• Waiting lists could cause discrimination among the candidates because they may restrict
from the jobs again.

22. GENERAL MENTALABILITY TESTS
• It is also called psychometric test. These tests are used for assessment and evaluation of
the test taker by a competent examiner. It is used to check he intelligence and knowledge
of the candidate.
• Its advantage is that candidates cannot lie in it. Moreover biasness can be avoided. This
test is used where there are number of candidates for the job.
• These tests are quite useful than the interviews because real information can be more
easily taken from tests instead of the interviews. It’s more reliable and valid.
• Differences between males and females in abilities (e.g., knowledge of mathematics) may
negatively impact the scores of female applicants.

23. SEMI- STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS
• These interviews follow a predetermined and standardized list of questions. These
questions are not asked in the same way in same order to all the participants because
these questions are difficult to clarify.
• It is very time-consuming because interviewer needs to record it in written form.
Moreover, the data reliability is very low because it is difficult to compare the
responses between the respondents.
• Interviewees give too much information in it which is in depth and useless.
Recording information could be very difficult because to write the information is
time-consuming and if interview is recorded then candidates may not feel
comfortable and give only limited information.

24. CONCLUSION
• Elgin Pharmacuetical company used waiting list method for
recruitment, but it is not beneficial for the company because if
candidates are in waiting list, it could be time-consuming and
lengthy process. Moreover, it will restrict candidates not to
work anywhere else or they will lose this job.
