Selection:
1. Selection is concerned with picking up the right candidates from a pool of applicants.
2. Selection, on the other hand, is negative in its application in as much as it seeks to eliminate as many unqualified applicants as possible in order to identify the right candidates.

significance of employee selection
selection is the process of choosing from a group of applicants the individual best suited for a
particular position and the organization (optimal types and levels of human capital). Properly
matching people with jobs and the organization is the goal of the selection process. If individuals
are overqualified, underqualified, or for any reason do not fit either the job or the organization’s
culture, they will be ineffective and probably leave the firm, voluntarily or otherwise. There
are many ways to improve productivity, but none is more powerful than making the right hir-
ing decision. A firm that selects high-quality employees reaps substantial benefits, which recur
every year the employee is on the payroll. On the other hand, poor selection decisions can cause
irreparable damage. A bad hire can negatively affect the morale of the entire staff, especially in a
position where teamwork is critical.
Many companies would rather go short and work overtime than hire one bad apple. If a firm
hires many bad apples, it cannot be successful for long even if it has perfect plans, a sound orga-
nizational structure, and finely tuned control systems. Competent people must be available to
ensure the attainment of organizational goals. Today, with many firms having access to the same
technology, people make the real difference.
selection process
Companies make selection decisions to determine whether individuals who were identified
through the selection process will be offered employment. Figure 6-1 illustrates a generalized
selection process, but it may vary from company to company and also according to the type
of job being filled. This process typically begins with preliminary screening. Next, applicants
complete the firm’s application for employment or provide a résumé. Then they progress through
a series of selection tests, one or more employment int ...

that applicants' performance in school tells something about their mental abilities and personality traits. Anyone who has graduated from high school or college (depending on the firm's requirements) is presumed to have the necessary basic intelligence. Further, a course of study indicates much about a person's interests. Working one's way, at least partially, through school may indicate self-reliance and industry.
Most application blanks ask for information about the candidate's employment history, including periods of unemployment. If a company has certain experience qualifications, the application blank is a good tool for determining whether a candidate meets these requirements. Companies also usually like to know the reasons why a person left each previous job. If possible, the prospective employer should verify these reasons with someone other than the applicant.
Companies ordinarily are interested in the socioenviroomental qualifications of prospective employees. Questions may be asked on topics such as the following:
Membership in social, service, and business organizations.
· Offices held in organizations.
· Hobbies, athletic endeavors, and other outside interests.
Information on the prospect's socioenvironment can be extremely helpful because it reveals something about his or her interests, capabilities, and personality. Active participation in organizations may indicate an ability to meet and mix with people. Holding office may imply leadership traits and administrative abilities.
Once again, remember that questions about age, marital status, religion, or any of the points discussed above must comply with federal laws and regulations.
Personal Interviews
Nature and Purpose
Virtually no salesperson is ever hired without a personal interview, and there are no satisfactory substitutes for this procedure. Much has been written about the use of weighted application blanks, various kinds of tests, and other aids in hiring. But none of these tools completely takes the place of getting to know applicants personally by talking to them.
A personal interview is used basically to determine a person's fitness for a job. Moreover, personal interviews disclose characteristics that are not always observable by other means. An interview is probably the best way to find out about the recruit's conversational ability, speaking voice, and social intelligence. By seeing the applicant in person, an executive can appraise physical characteristics such as general appearance and care given to clothes. As noted in a recent survey of 651 executives, image does matter in hiring decisions.2 (See the box titled "Image Matters.*) The interview also may reveal certain personality traits. The interviewer may note the applicant's poise under the strain of an interview, along with any tendency to dominate or lead a conversation.

Insights On Trouble-Free Methods Of Employment Screening
1. Insights On Trouble-Free Methods Of Employment
Screening
Employee background investigation screening can appear to be a daunting undertaking for most
hiring managers and HR professionals. This short article describes the rationale behind each
approach and discusses the most effective and most frequent pre-work screening approaches.
Every firm performs some type of Pre-Employment screening. The process is as straightforward as
asking "When is it possible to begin?" or as difficult as requiring applicants to to endure extensive
Employee checks of experience, skill, and character. Though the range can vary dramatically from
one company to a different, there exists a core team of Preemployment screening methods employed
by most firms since they've proven to be effective and yield the greatest results.
A Interview responses, a final solution to analyze and critique a candidate's common information,
and behavioral tendencies would be to call a candidate's references. During a reference check, ask a
few questions about prior work experiences to validate a candidate's responses and collect the
reference's view of a candidate's work habits. It's also tremendously advantageous to request the
reference for added coworker or references, which an applicant might have purposefully not
recorded.
A standardized application allows an employer or potential employer to command which candidates
queries which and also the form of advice collected. This allows a hiring manager to obtain the
essential information to initially eliminate unqualified applicants (education level, work expertise,
competencies, etc.).
Pre -work testing procedures could be conducted at this time to measure a candidate's aptitude and
skills pertaining to the vacant occupation. To find out more about these techniques, read Pre-
Employment screening: Legally Justified Tests of Capacity and Knowledge.
Once a hiring manager restarts submitted and has developed a summary of applicants that are
qualified depending on a standardized application, each candidate can be further pursued by the
supervisor by commencing an interview and checking references. In this period, it is necessary to
inquire whether a candidate needs any special adjustments to be successful in the finished interview
and testing phases.
There is a telephone interview well suited for hiring managers having a lengthy set of candidates
that are qualified. It's a fantastic approach to save time and serves as a formal method of gathering
targeted advice. A in person interview may be used to follow up with any exceptionally qualified
2. candidates that fulfill all expectations during a telephone interview.
A resume is employed to acquire detailed information about a candidate that's not captured in the
typical application, which may be in comparison to the crucial functions recorded in a job
description. The resume should supply information about major professional and educational
accomplishments, an applicant's preceding work duties, and special skills and competence obtained.
A resume can also be utilized to judge an applicant's level of capability and authorship to convey a
message.
The most frequent ways of first assessment include: reference check standardized application,
resume, phone interview, in-person interview, background verification, and drug screen.
Determining which methods to utilize depends completely in the company type and the position
being filled. Moreover, the strategies chosen should depend on the overall cost, influence, utility,
and reliability they will have to the business and the applicant.
The seven most typical varieties of pre-work screening methods can be divided into three groups.
Each type equates to a specific period in the pre -work process. The primary period involves
procedures that assemble information that is essential, the second relates to assessing and
critiquing qualified candidates, and the final period is normally only a formality for liability goals.
The primary process of pre-employment screening demands requesting job candidates submit a cv
and to finish a business application. A program provides a standardized approach to gather general
information about candidates that can be applied in combination using a curriculum vitae, which
provides more comprehensive information essential to produce an inventory of qualified candidates.
Firms with greater financial and administrative sources usually elect while less wide-ranging
methods are chosen by businesses with small resources to save time and money to execute a formal
and more extensive background and reference check. Moreover, entry level, administrative, and
manual jobs usually do not generally warrant in depth pre-work screening procedures since they
generally have much higher turnover rates than professional, executive, and places.
The final two methods of Preemployment screening comprise a background records search and a
drug screen. Generally, a hiring supervisor has already selected a a nominee that was back-up plus a
candidate prior to managing a drug test and starting a background screening; so, these two
approaches are done as a formality for liability reasons. Nonetheless, it's crucial for businesses
before expanding a verbal or written employment offer, to wait for the results.
