The knowledge, skills and abilities the employee must have to perform well on the job are obtained by interviewing work experts and reviewing background documents. This essential step provides a road map to guide you through the selection process. Performance-based job descriptions are a systematic, consistent and accurate summary of the job and best of all, they can be developed and updated in minutes. These ads can also reduce advertising expenses by up to 50 per cent while significantly improving applicant quality. Since these ads target top performers and discourage unqualified and uncommitted applicants from applying, significant time is saved during the resume screening phase of the selection process.
Staff can then devote more time to screening in the best applicants.
Resumes are screened using a checklist of essential qualifications to quickly and accurately identify how well each applicant meets all of the job s requirements. A written record of each screening decision will then be available for review or applicant feedback. This highly organized, yet straightforward, process significantly reduces screening time and makes resume screening decisions accurate and easy. Both the good and the more unsavoury or highly challenging aspects of a job are revealed to applicants, allowing them to back out of the selection process early, saving time and money for all involved. Micro Assessments are written exercises given to the short-listed applicants.
