Document Summary
Selection: the process of choosing among individuals who have been recruited to fill existing or projected job openings. Supply challenges: certain vacant positions may be subject to a labour shortage (based on job requirements, location,work environment, etc. ), while other simultaneous vacant positions may be subject to a labour surplus (due to environmental factors, training and education levels, immigration patterns, etc. ) Multiple-hurdle strategy: an approach to selection involving a series of successive steps or hurdles. Only candidates clearing the hurdle are permitted to move on to the next step: decide who will be involved in the selection process and develop selection criteria. Once agreed on, the selection criteria should be divided into musts and wants: usually 2 musts are: (1) a specific level or education and (2) a minimum amount of related work experience. Must criteria: requirements that are absolutely essential for the job, include a measurable standard of acceptability, or are absolute and can be screen initially on paper.
