The Management chapter offers a general outline for the recruitment to help the selection officers with their complex tasks. It covers how to determine the customer’s needs, set the necessary evaluation criteria for all selection methods, optimize planning, and introduces decision-making criteria. Many selection methods are described and discussed in the evaluation criteria.
This chapter demonstrates how to use the descriptive statistics method. The critical mechanism it uses to select candidates is to find the significant trend in a given data set and determine its variability. The essence of correlation dependence is revealed – the consistent changes of two or more features. When the value of one variable changes, the other variable will change. It is described how to use the correlation analysis method – a statistical method that determines whether there is a relationship between variables. Next comes the scheme of interpretation of the correlation coefficient: the possible strength and direction of its connection.
The main parameters for determining the quality of information obtained from conducting an empirical study (reliability and validity) are also considered in this chapter. Reliability means a specific guarantee that the result obtained correctly reflects the reality being studied. Validity of information is the confirmation that the phenomena that were supposed to be investigated were analyzed. In this chapter, the factors that are the basis for any management decision: measurement and evaluation are mentioned. Measurement and assessment refer to the procedure for comparing objects in a particular relation.
The main advantage that the scheme proposed in the chapter is the systematic compliance of candidates with the work requirements. The system also provides a means of monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the entire selection process. This scheme will allow the selection decision maker to predict how the candidate will perform with much greater accuracy than before.
