CANDIDATE SELECTION PITFALLS

candidate selection pitfalls

??????I.???????????A loosely tied selection process

You can have the best work force and the best company culture but if the selection process lacks structure, it’s a definite let-down.

???II.???????????Lack of role-specific selection systems

Every role is unique, and as they require a specific skills-competencies-personality tests for success, other technical roles require practical and texts compared to others having this systems in place and not just doing same interviews on the roles can lead to more success in selection

?III.???????????Being over-dependent on the human recruiter

This is a challenge that most organizations face when adopting new technology – where does human intervention end and tech take the reins? Recruiters may find it difficult to relinquish the reins but think of all the extra work you are putting in despite your investment in technology.

?IV.???????????Denouncing data

There are some hiring managers who trust their gut over data, it is risky to not rely on the depth of data that we have access to at present.

???V.???????????Overlooking the candidate experience

During interviews there might be a discrepancy in the expectations set and the actual Job, this might lead into wrong selection of a right candidate, always make sure the job you are hiring for and the ideal candidate is a match
