We owe
it to the organization and the working individuals within
it to select employees who are going to help carry on the
organizational mission.
The
dollar costs of a wrong hire can be staggering. They include
salary, benefits, recruitment, training, possible absenteeism,
medical costs, customer ill-will, and even litigation. In
a good size company it can easily reach into the hundreds
of thousands of dollars. Such poor choices affect productivity,
quality of service or product, and profits. It also affects
employee morale, which in turn raises all of the above costs.
Procedures
involved in personnel selection can include:
- Comprehensive
interviews with a highly trained consulting psychologist
- Computerized
testing
- Psycho-diagnostic
test battery available only to trained psychologists
