Best-Practice Procedures for Managing Employee Selection

For the most effective and beneficial personnel management, organizations should have a defined and documented employee selection policy. This sample policy provides a detailed overview of the process as a whole, as well as specific steps that are necessary to be completed, such as pre-employment screening, application processing, selection testing and interviewing.

It also covers essential practices like background investigations, drug screening and the formalization of job offers, ensuring that all procedures are documented and legally compliant. By leveraging this policy, organizations can reduce employee turnover, enhance job performance, and mitigate risks associated with improper hiring practices. Overall, this document is an invaluable tool for HR departments to streamline hiring and maintain compliance with employment laws.

The following key risks are covered in this document:

  • The organization does not have a defined and documented policy for employee selection.
  • The organization does not have a process in place that effectively matches the knowledge, skills and abilities of job applicants with the appropriate job positions.
  • The organization does not adhere to legal requirements before it obtains or uses criminal background checks for applicants.
