Employee selection process

Start with the selection process

Begin with the slides on the foundations of selection for an introduction to collecting and evaluating information about individuals. Then look at Selection Mindmap, which lays out tools used at different stages, including preliminary screening, application forms, interviews, employment tests and checks of references and background.

For another view of the sequence, Systematic Selection Process maps stages from initial screening through a conditional job offer, background information checks and a medical exam. Compare the stages shown in the maps as you study.

Explore particular methods

The Personnel Selection mind map looks at personality testing and its potential to help predict performance. The Work Place flashcards include questions about employment interviews and what they test. These resources give you different ways to focus on methods that also appear in the broader process maps.

The page also lists several mind maps called Selection. One describes interviewing and evaluating candidates against criteria. Another begins with screening and reviewing an application form. Use their descriptions to choose the view you want to study.

Combine maps and a quiz

After exploring a map, try HRM - Chapter 5 Practice Quiz. You can then return to the maps or flashcards to look again at methods you want to understand. Teachers can also browse the user-made resources for material to use when discussing selection.

Place the topic in the unit

Employee selection process is one section of the Recruitment, Selection and Onboarding unit in Human resources. Use this page to focus on selection, then return to the unit when you are ready to explore its other resources. Choose a resource and start studying.
