Document Summary

What are the steps in the selection process: screening applications and resumes, testing and reviewing work samples, checking references and background, making a selection. This kind of strategic approach to selection requires ways to measure the effectiveness of selection tools. From science, we have basic standards for this: the selection method provides reliable information, the method provides about information, that information can be generated to apply to the candidates, the method offers high utility (practical value) Practical value: utility = the extent to which the selection method provides economic value greater than its costs. Interview notes are made for interviewers to help distinguish among candidates: candidates must provide their consent for back order reference checking be conducted. Applications: employee information, work experience, educational background, applicants signature, low cost method for obtaining basic data in standardized way. Include information such as contact information, work experience, education, skills, certifications: do not ask about birthplace, marital status, number of children.
