Recruitment, Job Choice, and Post-Hire Consequences: A Call For New Research Directions
TLDR
The major emphasis in employee selection is on selection as discussed by the authors, and the major emphasis is on the selection of well-qualified applicants, which is not the case in recruiting or placement.Abstract:
Excerpt] "Technology in employee selection is more highly developed than in recruiting or placement; therefore, the major emphasis is on selection Recruiting or placement are not less important processes; to the contrary, they probably are more vital and more profitable to the organization. An organization's success in recruiting defines the applicant population with which it will work; selection is more pleasant, if not easier, when any restriction of range or skewness of distribution is attributable to an overabundance of well-qualified applicants... Unfortunately,the contributions and confusions of the literature, the central social pressures, and the facts of contemporary practice conspire to place the emphasis on selection" (pp. 777779)read more
