Hrm Selection Tools

Three selections tools that would be considered when looking to hire personnel for a supermarket are, completing an application, holding an interview and providing references. The reasons for choosing these three selections are to come. By being able to complete an application, that shows a lot about the person looking for a position. It shows that they are able to read and understand English, and that they are able to work through problems. The interview part of this process is very important. Conducting an interview allows you to meet the candidate and decide what that individual is like. During the interview you can ask questions about what is in the application and see how the individual presents himself or herself.

I would use some of the same selection methods for the position in my final project but I would add a few steps such as personality tests, typing tests and other computer application tests. The reason I would add the testing process would be to ensure that the person truly has those skills that I was looking for.
