Employee Selection is the process of interviewing and
evaluating the candidates for a specific job and selecting an individual for
employment based on certain criteria (qualifications, skills and Experience).
SELECTION PROCESS
The process of selection in details as follows:
- Preliminary Interview
This
is very basic interview and from this finding best fit to the company from
pool.
- Receiving Applications
Potential employees
apply for a job by sending applications to the organization.
- Screening Applications
Once the applications
are received, they are screened by a special screening committee who choose
candidates from the applications to call for an interview. Applicants may be
selected on special criteria like qualifications, work experience etc.
- Employment Tests
Before an organization
decides a suitable job for any individual, they have to gauge their talents and
skills. This is done through various employment test ike intelligence tests, aptitude test , proficiency tests, personality tests
etc.
- Employment Interview
The next step in the
selection process is the employee interview. Employment interviews are done to
identify a candidate’s skill set and ability to work in an organization in
detail. An employment interview is critical for the selection of the right
people for the right jobs.
- Medical Examination
The medical exam is
also a very important step in the selection process. Medical exams help the
employers know if any of the potential candidates are physically and mentally
fit to perform their duties in their jobs.
- Final Selection and Appointment Letter
This is the final
step in the selection process. After the candidate has successfully passed all
written tests, interviews and medical examination, the employee is sent or
emailed an appointment letter, confirming his selection to the job.
What are the importance of Recruitment & Selection?
As a business owner, you want a team that
you can count on to get the job done while you focus on other things.
Management of any large corporation will tell you that finding good, loyal
talent is hard. Take the time to develop a recruiting process that is
constantly looking for people with the skills you need and the motivation to
work for you. A good process not only finds great employees but saves you time
and money on replacing and training new people. (Seidel, 2019)
These are the importance
factors of recruitment and selection:
1.
Finding Quality
candidates
Having good quality employees is the most important goal to
the employer on the very first establishing a job description to attract people with the right set of
skills and most important fact is to understand and identify the recruited task
that organization need and whether capable enough to training them. For example
account assistant cannot doing client service job. Therefore from recruitment
and selection process can find quality candidates.
2.
Save Training time
and Money with proper selection
Go through a systematic set of questing and even skills
test to determine if candidates are able to fulfill the job needs. This helps establish confidence
in knowing that you have logically gone through a recruiting process and choose
people based on defined metrics rather than gut feeling. When organization does
this, they increase chances of having someone succeed in the job. If the
organization doesn’t need to constantly replace people, they will save time and
money on the recruiting and training of new candidates. Understand that downtime
could negatively affect their business revenues if you become short-staffed;
keeping turnover low is important. There are costs and time spent putting out
job ads, interviews and training new people. Taking the time to choose properly
the first time helps mitigate this.
3.
Reduce Potential
Legal Ramifications
When you have a systematic process in place that you follow for
every candidate, you reduce the chances of finding yourself in
employment-related legal issues. Employers can get sued for bias if a candidate
feels there was some level of discrimination that resulted in not getting the
job. Keeping interview questions professional and not asking personal questions
is important to prevent any misconceptions. Giving the same skills tests to all
candidates means that no one was given preferential treatment. Employers are not allowed to discriminate based on age,
gender, religion or disabilities.
4.
Improving employment
Engagement
An Engagement refers to the enthusiasm, motivation
and level of commitment employee’s exhibit in the performance of their job
duties. The recruitment and selection of qualified applicants can directly
impact employee engagement. In the recruiting process, identifying applicants
whose work history suggests they demonstrate commitment is one way to predict
their level of commitment to your organization. In-depth interviews are an
ideal way to identify candidates who are enthusiastic about the qualifications
they can bring to your organization.
5.
Retaining Valuable
Employees
Employee retention is important to employers for reasons
related to hiring and training costs, as well as business continuity. A good
recruitment and selection process eliminates applicants whose work history and
intent don't indicate their desire to remain with your company for more than
the average length of time.
6.
Ensuring Low Turnover
Similarly, low turnover is another sign of an effective
recruitment and selection process, especially because most turnovers occurs
during the first 90 days of employment. Recruiters can often pinpoint the signs
that an applicant is prone to job hopping or less committed to staying with the
company for a reasonable period. In addition, candidates whose work history
indicates they have been involuntarily terminated from several jobs are easy
for recruiters to identify.
Conclusion
The main goal of this process is to select the best
candidate for the post of job you are offering. This process is very much
important for every organization because it creates the best and comfortable
atmosphere in the organization. It is important to list out the skills and
capabilities of that candidate in order to utilize it best in the organization
working atmosphere.
