Selection

Attracting candidates with the ability, agility and aspiration to add value to the business is essential for the success of any organisation. There are usually multiple steps in a recruitment process before a selection decision can be made. The selection process is a vital stage of the recruitment strategy as it brings together all the information and insights to support HR/hiring managers to have confidence in the selection decision. Making the wrong hiring decision is costly to any business, so it is recommended that employers invest their time in a fit for purpose and thorough selection process. Whilst some employers are keen to simply ‘fill the role’, it is much better for the business to be down in resources, than to hire the wrong fit. 

Having followed the stages of the recruitment process, a good pool of high calibre applicants should be available to choose from. Of course, if a recruitment agency was engaged, they should have already provided a list of suitable applicants to interview or select from.
