Selection

Selection is a crucial component in the recruitment process of any organisation. It involves evaluating and choosing the most suitable candidates from a pool of applicants.

The goal of selection is to identify individuals who not only possess the necessary skills and qualifications for the job, but also align with the company’s culture and values.

Through a series of steps such as screening resumes, conducting interviews, and assessing candidate performance in tasks or tests, the selection process ensures that the best-fit candidates are chosen for the available roles. This not only optimises the employer’s performance and productivity, but also contributes to employee satisfaction and retention. Therefore, effective selection is key to the long-term success of an organisation.
