...RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION M2- My contribution to the whole selection process. How effective was your contribution to the pre-selection interview preparations? Before the selection interview took place I had to prepare a few documents. I also had to complete an application form for this role play as I was the interviewee. My pre-interview contribution to the preparations was really effective as I completed the application form as soon as it was given to me.

...------------------------------------------------- What is the process of selecting candidates? Selecting candidates involves two main processes: shortlisting, and assessing applicants to decide who should be made a job offer. It is a crucial stage in the overall recruitment process. This factsheet focuses on interviewing, psychometric testing and assessment centres. * For more on recruitment generally, see our factsheet Candidates’ applications may arrive as a curriculum vitae (CV) or an application form. Whatever form they are in, it’s important to make sure that everyone involved in the selection process, from the shortlisting stage onwards, understands not just the need to avoid unfair discrimination and the potential risk to the organisation’s reputation should a candidate make a tribunal claim, but the benefits a diverse workforce can bring to an organisation. Technology plays an increasingly important role in recruitment ranging from attracting candidates through to the selection process. Online recruitment can mean employers receive large numbers of applications from unsuitable candidates, but there are tools and techniques that can help slim down the number of potential candidates. A range of different methods can be used to assess candidates. Some are more reliable than others in terms of predicting performance in the job, and some are easier and cheaper to administer than others. Whatever method is used, recruiters should tell candidates in advance what to expect from the selection process, including how...

...Outline the different selection methods that are available to organisations and discuss how the use of assessment centres might support the selection process. During the selection process, a company may utilise a variety of methods in order to be sure of which applicant they wish to hire. These methods will include widely used techniques such as requesting a curricula vitae be submitted, a face-to-face interview and references from employers. Another method to support the process, is the use of assessment centres. Assessment centres were originally introduced during World War Two in order to select officers in the army and navy (Ballantyne & Pover 2004 p.3-4). However since then they have become more commonly used within businesses with, according to research by the Industrial Relations Services, over 50% using them (Martin & Jackson 2002 pg.130). An assessment centre can support the selection process by allowing a business to observe applicants whilst they carry out a number of set tasks such as individual or group work, analytical exercises, oral or written output and input or role play. Assessment centres will also allow businesses to gain an insight into the characteristics of the candidates as they perform tasks which are as similar to job reality as possible (CIPD 2013). In order for any method to be effective, there are numerous criteria which must be true of the method. First the method must be both reliable and valid. Reliability is defined by Ungerson...

... Abstract The recruitment and selection process is one of the main functions of Human Resource Management. It is critical to the achievement of organizational and strategic goals. At some point, every organization will need to hire new employees. Selecting the wrong person could be a costly mistake when considering the amount of money involved in recruiting and training new employees. According to (Wienclaw, 2010), “the tools used to select new employees need to be demonstrably related to the job and must help the organization select those employees with the appropriate knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics necessary for job success” (p. 1). To identify the recruitment and selection methods at Wal-Mart, a job description for a Senior Manager in Marketing-Promotions was selected from their website. This particular job description was selected because it includes position details, job duties, performance standards and job factors. In this paper, a concept map and associated discussion summarize the steps of the recruiting and selection process using the chosen job description. Dialogue surrounding performance standards and rationale for included components are offered as well. The recruitment process begins when Wal-Mart recognizes a human resource need within the company that is not being met by current employees. Once the position is determined...
