Development of personnel selection systems

This is why we specialise in helping companies improve their personnel selection systems. It is frequently the case that personnel decisions are made based on "gut feeling", and that these often prove to be poor. Every "miscast" member of personnel costs companies eighteen months’ gross salary!

 

The effectiveness and efficiency of personnel selection systems can be increased by consciously clarifying, simplifying and optimising internal procedures. While "gut feelings" are not disregarded completely, personnel selection systems do help to reduce the number of bad decisions made. For instance, this can take the form of pre-arranged interaction between specialist departments and the personnel department, by the conscious use of probationary periods as an extended, cost-effective assessment centre or by introducing training for managers in order to help them to avoid errors of judgment.
