Such tests are conducted with the help of questionnaires. A typical questionnaire is prepared comprising of a series of questions directly concerned with personality in its broad aspects. Once an offer of employment has been extended and accepted , then comes the last step in the procurement function i.e., placement of the individual in the job and orienting him to the organisation. Once the employee is selected, he should be placed in a suitable job. While doing so, the factor to be considered is not only the suitability of the individual to the job but also the suitability of the job to the individual.
First placement is always a problem because there is little known about the new employees.
Therefore placement should be made after due consideration of the demands of the job and the social and psychological needs of the individual. A company, which has spent a lot of time and money in making a very careful selection may lose due to wrong placement. The proper placement of a worker reduces employee turnover, absenteeism , accident rates and improves morale. Placement is not an easy process. It is very difficult for a new employee who is quite unknown.
