How do you make a final selection in the hiring process? It is often very difficult to select just one person from a group of often highly qualified candidates.

Refer to the scenario from the Week $3$ assignment:

While some traditional organizations have been closing operations in the United States, there are a number of organizations $($Amazon$,$ Tesla, Apple, Google, Foxconn, and so forth$)$ that are making significant investments in major new operations. A major concern for these organizations is the ability to recruit and attract employees with the requisite skills needed to fill what are often highly skilled jobs. Assume that you have been brought in to consult with one of these growing organizations as it prepares to open a new facility. The new facility will be a multi$-$purpose regional office with $1500$ employees in a variety of disciplines. The new employees will be hired for all positions, ranging from a regional VP and senior staff functions to the customer service team, and the distribution$/$warehouse team with $400$ employees. The new facility will be similar to eight existing facilities in other regions.

In staffing this new plant, the decision has been made to hire three recent college graduates as entry$-$level IT employees. These jobs would have a $35$ year track toward management positions and are needed to help create qualified employees for future anticipated growth.

A hiring plan needs to be developed to ensure that the right candidates are hired. The requirements for this job are an IT degree from an accredited university, familiarity with at least two of the common programming languages used, an appropriate GPA and university service, and either an internship or work experience with an IT department.

The selection devices you are considering include the following:

Resume review.

Application blank.

Personality test.

IT programming test for at least two languages.

Telephone interview with IT supervisor.

Initial interview with HR$.$

Interview with an IT manager.

Three reference checks.

Drug test.

Interview with IT supervisor.

College transcript check.

Wonderlic Personnel Test of Cognitive Ability.

Hands$-$on programming activity.

Based on current research, including the following information in your post:

Which of these selection devices would you include in the final process? Why would you include each of these?

Which of these selection devices would you exclude in the final process? Why would you exclude each of these?

Are there any other selection devices you would use in the process? Why would you add these items?

Based on current research and your final list of selection devices, what selection process would you use$$a multiple$-$hurdle hiring process, a compensatory process, or some combination of these two? Which of these selection devices would be considered hurdles and which could be compensatory? Justify your choices.
