assessment in personnel selection  

Definition

  • Introduction In personnel selection, the decision-maker's task is to predict which job applicants are most likely to perform their jobs well, to fit the organization or the workgroup, or occasionally, to remain on the job after being hired. Decisions are often made on the basis of general impressions, unstructured interviews, or other assessments of doubtful validity.
