...OVERVIEW ON THE THEORY OF RECRUITMENT PROCESS AND THE USE OF SELECTION TOOLS November 2015 PETER HORVATH CASS BUSINESS SCHOOL – MEMBASTUDENT NUMBER: 150000247 | Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 The Focus of this Paper 3 Recruitment Process 3 Selection Tools 6 Recommendations for My Firm 7 References 8 Executive Summary Human capital is a potential source of firms’ competitive advantage. To capitalize on this, firms must understand the structure and the different aspects of the recruitment process and selection, and put in place a recruitment strategy, which sets out objectives, specifies recruitment activities, and takes into consideration intervening variables to accomplish the desired recruitment outcomes. In this process, firms are strongly advised to apply an individually tailored combination of selection tools with the highest overall validity. Based upon the findings of this paper, to improve my firm’s HR practice I recommend to (1) plan the recruitment and selection process and form a strategy, (2) combine various selection tools, (3) keep accurate records and (4) avoid all forms of discrimination. The Focus of this Paper In my firm, decision makers neither understand the strategic significance of recruitment and selection nor use any academic findings and best practices to overcome stuffing challenges. Despite the facts that (i) recruiting is of utmost importance not only for achieving competitive advantage...

At the same time, recruitment and selection also have an image problem. First, recruitment and selection are often viewed as ‘old’ ingrained HRM domains. It seems like the traditional recruitment and selection procedures have been around for decades, which is at odds with the ever changing internal and external environment of organizations. Hence, practitioners often wonder whether there are any new research-based ways for recruiting and selecting personnel. Another image problem for recruitment and selection is that a false dichotomy is often created between so-called macro HR (examining HR systems more broadly) and micro HR (examining individual differences). It is further sometimes argued that organizations should value macro approaches and write off micro approaches as not being relevant to the business world. We posit that these image problems and debates only serve to distract and fracture the field and hide the fact that excellent HR research and practice needs...

...Effective Diversity Management Essay Workplace Diversity: A Contribution to Organisational Success Abstract Workplace diversity is vital for any organisation. The benefits diversity can bring are able to drastically change the performance of an organisation. The following essay explains the essence of workplace diversity, describes the difficulties that may arise in diversity management, and presents the key benefits that it can bring to an organisation. With these issues explained, it is evident that organisations can benefit from workplace diversity and how it can make them successful. Workplace Diversity: A Contribution to Organisational Success Workplace diversity incorporates more than it seems at a glance. Diversity presumes mainly cultural, racial, and gender differences, because these are the most visible distinctions between people. There are, however, many other characteristics in which employees differ. Rice (2010) defines diversity as “differing cultures, languages, ethnicities, races, sexual orientations, religious sects, abilities, classes, ages, and national origins of individuals in an institution, workplace, or community.” (p. 96). As far as the workplace is concerned, diversity is crucial for it. Employees of different cultures, races, ages, classes and backgrounds can make their own unique contributions to the development and performance of an organisation. This is why numerous “business and governmental organisations have implemented workforce...

Chapman, Krista L. Uggerslev, Sarah A. Carroll, Kelly A. Piasentin, and David A. Jones University of Calgary Attracting high-performing applicants is a critical component of personnel selection and overall organizational success. In this study, the authors meta-analyzed 667 coefficients from 71 studies examining relationships between various predictors with job– organization attraction, job pursuit intentions, acceptance intentions, and job choice. The moderating effects of applicant gender, race, and applicant versus nonapplicant status were also examined. Results showed that applicant attraction outcomes were predicted by job– organization characteristics, recruiter behaviors, perceptions of the recruiting process, perceived fit, and hiring expectancies, but not recruiter demographics or perceived alternatives. Path analyses showed that applicant attitudes and intentions mediated the predictor–job choice relationships. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for recruiting theory, research, and practice. Keywords: recruiting, job choice, applicant reactions, person– organization fit, meta-analysis a quantitative review of this literature has not been...

...Varied Selection Tools Paper NAME PSYCH/705 DATE PROFESSOR The Employee Selection Process The employee selection process in the mid-1970s dramatically changed through a crucial development that was introduced simultaneously into different research areas (Aguinis, Pierce, & Culpepper, 2009). The development of meta-analyses was the partial event which had arguably been of one of the most influential methodologies in the recent decades to be developed in research. According to Schmidt and Hunter (1977), this research development introduced validity generalization, an application of meta-analysis that is used for employment tests to provide validity to the data. Through this development, qualitatively gathering results from large numbers has provided by small scale studies results in a quasi-massive multipurpose scale study (Brannick & Levine, 2002). Through the meta-analysis, it aids the way that generalization validity studies of employee selection are conducted. This knowledge is relevant as because of the introduction of this occurrence, it has provided researchers with the weight of being able to connect in consider the effects of artifacts such as range restriction, measurement error, and sampling error (Brannick & Levine, 2002). This process therefore has revolutionized employment selection and testing for an organization. The proposal lists valid as well as reliable test tools that are suggested by Iwamoto Crews Coe in order be used during the employee...
