Document Summary
Successful candidates must fit w/the strategic direction of the org: when an unsuccessful employee must be terminated, there are hidden costs such as internal disorganization & disruption, customer alienation. Selection ratio = ratio of the # of applicants hired to the total # of applicants available: e. g. 1:2 may indicate a limited number of applicants from which to select, which may also mean lq recruits. Designing an effective selection process involves composing a series of job-related qs to be asked of all applicants for a particular job: decide who will be involved in the selection process & develop selection criteria. Once agreed on, the selection criteria should be divided into: musts & wants. Want criteria = incl skills & abilities that cannot be screened on paper or are not readily measurable, as well as qualifications that are desirable but not critical: determine assessment strategies & develop an evaluation form. Appropriate strategies for learning about each should be specified.
