According
to Stonner (2000), the selection process
is a mutual process in which the organization decides whether or not to make a
job offer and it is up to the candidate to decide whether or not to accept it. In
the view of Flippo (1984) selection of qualified and
potential employees from a pool of candidates matches the company’s
requirements. Mondy (2010) states that
the process of selecting individuals best suited for a specific position in an
organization from a pool of applicants. According to the above statements, the
company always tries to select candidates who meet the company's requirements.
When the Home Lands Company selects candidates for the sales department, they
look at the candidates' qualifications as well as their previous company's
experience.
Furthermore,
Henry (2009) stated selection is an
extremely important aspect of the organization. In order to maintain
organizational efficiency, the right people must be hired. The selection
process is essentially the type of procedure in which an organization tries to
choose the most suited applicant from a vast pool of candidates. Because
recruitment is an expensive process, companies make every effort to hire the
appropriate individuals right from the start. According to Gamage (2014), in order to improve the firm's
efficiency and productivity, the company needs to select the right candidates
for the right role.
The
Process of Selection
Because
recruitment is an expensive process, it is generally observed that
organizations do their best to select the right kind of people from the start
of the process so that at the end of the process, that organization can show
that it was worth their time and money in choosing the suitable candidate for a
better type of job.
Collection
of Application
The
primary hiring procedure begins with the collection of the candidate's
application. Applications can be used to obtain incorrect data. We should not
assume that all of the information on the paper is correct. The application
must be evaluated based on the information provided.
Preliminary
Interviews
Interviewing
is probably one of the most commonly used approaches in the selection of
candidates
References
The
purpose of the reference check is to gather information about applicants' past
behavior and to double-check the accuracy of information provided on the
application. According to Cole ( 2005),
most public sector organizations obtain references before calling short-listed
candidates for interviews, After the candidates have completed the interviews,
the private sector obtains references.
Line
Manager Approvals
In
general, after completing the various types of interviews, the candidate should
be chosen for the final round of interviews conducted by the supervisors of
various types of organizations
Psychological Tests:
The
testing process is the next step in the selection process. The majority of
large corporations employ detailed selection testing procedures
Employee
recruitment and selection, to a large extent, determines an organization's
performance, and it is absolutely essential.

Hi Thanuja, I agree with your process of employee selection. In a typical staff selection process, there are about five to seven steps. Announcing the job, reviewing applications, screening candidates, interviewing, final selection, testing, and making an offer are the basic steps. (Nikolaou, I., 2021) However, Due to Covid19 Situation most of the employees are used to work remotely in many industries. Because of that there should be a process to do online recruitment as well. Steps in the remote hiring process can include phone and video interviews, pre-employment assessment tests, projects and work samples as well. (Landers, R.N. and Sanchez, D.R., 2022)

DeleteHi Thanuja, Totally agreed with you. A typology of recruitment strategies is developed which shows how environmental conditions and organisational structures influence the recruitment strategy of a firm. Depending on their market power, professional expertise and decision-making structure, firms implement different recruitment strategies which influence the type of worker who is recruited. (Paul Windolf, 1986)
