Part 4: Reflection on Employee Selection

(a) You have made a number of decisions in creating and implementing a selection system for bank tellers. Which of these decisions (in creating the system) do you think is most critical? Why?

(b) An employee selection approach to hiring (i.e., identifying factors, developing a scoring system, etc.) is more complex than hiring employees based on who they know or casually scanning a rsum and asking a few off the cuff questions for an interview. When you think about your work experiences, do you think the organizations you worked for took an employee selection approach when hiring? Explain your response.

(c) If you answered yes to question (b), do you think the organization was effective in hiring employees? If you answered no to question (b), do you think the organization should have adopted a selection approach to hiring? Explain your response.

(d) Describe the overall advantages and disadvantages of an employee selection approach to hiring.

(e) After reflecting on this exercise, would you recommend an employee selection process to hiring for virtually any job? Why or why not?
