The selection process	• Selection is a continuous process. • The number of steps in the selection process and their sequences will vary, not only with the organisation, but also with the type and level of jobs.
Use of person specifications	• Forms the basis for the administration of any applicable tests. • Reduces the influence of racial and sexual stereotypes and helps the interviewer to differentiate between qualified and unqualified applicants.
Pre-employment screening	• Individuals who are thoroughly screened learn their job tasks readily, are productive and generally adjust to their jobs with a minimum of difficulty. • New recruit turnover will often be minimised.
Obtaining reliable and valid information	• Reliability: the degree to which interviews, tests and other selection procedures yield comparable data over a period of time. • Validity: what a test or other selection procedure measures, and how well it measures this.
Sources of information about job candidates	• Application forms • Checking references • Medical examination • The employment interview • Employment tests
What is wrong with the interview?	• Considerable caution should be exercised in the selection of employment interviewers. • The interview is an artificial situation with the players acting out the role expected of them. • It involves human beings, who are subject to bias and subjectivity.
