Document Summary

Selection process: a series of specific steps used by an employer to decide which recruits should be hired. Process begins when recruits apply for employment and ends with the hiring decision. Match employment needs of the applicant & org. Small firms: owner-manager does hiring, large hrd: employment manager, small hrd: hr manager. Success or org depends on: quality and caliber of the employees they hire, qualifications/ skills of new hires need to closely match org culture/strategic requirement, shapes internal/external realities of the org (i. e. company incompetence affects countries performance) Must reflect job requirements: tools used for selection : reliable & valid, myths: conscientiousness > intelligence as a predictor of employee performance; integrity tests don"t work; integrity tests have adverse effects on racial minorities. Must be well integrated with org"l priorities. Must recognize org"l constraints: cost-effective, budgets/policies can hinder the selection process. Computerized approach: matching process largely ignores other factors (attitudes, personality)
