Selecting the right people (cont.)
Ultimately, the most effective selection process to use in your own organisation will depend on a number of factors including:
- The skills and competencies of the role: Do you need to test for specific knowledge or skills? Are certain qualifications required? What mix of skills are needed in the interviewing/assessment panel?
- How the role fits within the organisation: Should candidates meet the teams they will be working with or managing, to learn more about them or see how they ‘fit’ with the culture of the group?
- The grade of the likely candidates: How can you best assess capabilities of senior candidates such as inspirational leadership, ability to coach others, or strategic vision?
- The time available: Is there time available for a multi-stage recruitment process? Is there scope for candidates to work on a temporary basis or shadow current staff to get a better understanding of the organisation, and to assess their ‘fit’?
