It also delves into the ethical issues concerning drug testing within a company. The research conducted will show that in the interview process some test are shown to help the company learn about the candidate, however, can cause some negative vibes between the two as the potential employee would view it differently.
When an organization decides to expand its business, whether it is globally or locally, there needs to be a guideline when it comes to finding good talent for the new offices to fill different roles as they are needed. While many things are important in this process, the interview is by far the most important step in gauging how a potential employee would fit into the company and is thought to be a far better predictor of how that person’s performance will be; especially when compared to other techniques that company’s employ when it comes to selecting candidates for hiring.
With knowing that the fate of a company lies inside the quality and efficiency of the people that are employed with the company, it is crucial that the right people are placed in the accurate roles within the company. Hiring new employees is a strategic function in the department of Human Resources and with that comes recruitment and selection as a process for hiring new employees. While many employees are selected by job site posting on what the company is looking for and having their resumes sent in to the organization, recruitment is a bit different being that it is a tool that can be used in finding and attracting potential applicants for employment. The difference between the two is simply the act of searching out the potentials rather than the resumes being sent in to be reviewed; far
