  This volume presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the whole process of recruitment and selection, and examines all the key techniques involved. It shows how they link in with wider HR practices, and how and where competencies can be used to best effect. The book examines the subject from a competency approach, reflecting a firmly established trend in recruitment practice, and is written to meet the needs of both practitioners and students. It presents some contentious new findings on the use of graphology and other less orthodox selection techniques. Effective corporate initiatives and processes are the bedrock of successful organizations; the Developing Practice series provides manager with essential frameworks to identify, formulate and implement the best policies and practice in the management and development of people.

  How often does your recruitment and selection process get it right? Have you ever thought to yourself 'My life would be a lot easier if we'd never taken this one on'. Recruitment and selection is the foundation of all other HR activity. Get it wrong and it doesn't matter how good your development programme is, how well you motivate your staff, how you manage their performance, or even how well you reward them - you are always making up for that one bad decision. It is also one of your principal points of contact with line managers - deliver a less than perfect performance there and your chances of being taken seriously as a strategic business partner will be pretty slim.Get it right, however, and you can transform a mundane, everyday HR process into a chance to improve your organisation's performance by improving the quality of the people you're asking to deliver it. Do that and your line and senior management colleagues will sit up and take notice. Gareth Roberts shows you how to improve your recruitment, selection and induction processes so that you stand a better chance of making the right choice more often.
