Week 10

The most important thing that I have learned in this class is how complex the recruitment and selection process is and the most effective ways to select effective employees. Recruitment and selection are one of the most important parts when it comes to running a business or operating in teams. Overall, the most effective ways to select which applicants will be the best fit for a given position are by administering a series of tests. Without these tests we are left to the feeling of a hiring manager which has proven to be ineffective over and over. Knowing how important tests are and which tests are ideal when it comes to a given position is key when going through the hiring process. On one hand, we do not want to spend way too much money on tests that are irrelevant for a situation, yet we do not want to skimp on certain aspects of the job that can be determined by tests just to save a little money off the bat. This can lead to increased employee turnover which makes the company lose money on many levels. Overall, we must pick the right tests based on each specific position so we can determine the best applicants. I also learned how personality tests are ineffective when it comes to determining who to hire, however they are quite useful when it comes to putting teams together after the employees are hired. I think that another useful thing that I can use right out of school is how to answer test questions while applying for jobs. Being able to determine the answers that the organization is looking for is absolutely invaluable. I am thankful that I have taken this class especially in my last term of school and I believe that it has helped prepare me for my future career.
