Topics in Staff Selection

1

Meaning and Nature of Staff Selection

  • Staff selection divides candidates into two groups: those to be employed and those to be rejected.
  • The number of rejected candidates is usually much greater than the number selected.
  • Selection is a process of matching the candidate with the job, like fitting square pegs into square holes.

Definitions of Selection

  • Dale Yoder defined selection as choosing the most suitable person for the current or future position.
  • David and Robbins described selection as differentiating between applicants to identify and hire those with a greater likelihood of success in a job.
  • David and Robbins also described selection as a managerial decision-making process to predict which applicants will be successful if hired.

Distinction Between Recruitment and Selection

  • Recruitment is a positive process; selection is a negative process.
  • Recruitment means searching and attracting prospective employees; selection means choosing candidates with the necessary qualifications.
  • Recruitment aims to create a large pool of candidates; selection aims to eliminate unsuitable candidates.

Steps in the Selection Procedure

  • The steps are not always rigid; some organisations skip some steps or change the order.
  • Internal recruitment selection is simpler because data is already available in personal files.
