• An organization can run smoothly only if it
  employs the right people. This explains why the
  recruitment, selection and hiring process is one
  of the most essential aspects of the HR
  department. The information below explains how
  candidates are usually screened and selected for
  a particular position. It includes HR strategies
  that attract competent job seekers and some tools
  used for capability assessment.

• While the screening tools and resume review
  mentioned above are already part of the selection
  process, the main selection process could begin
  from the moment an initial offer has been made.
  The employee screening committee may include a
  quality analyst, a senior supervisor or a
  department manager. These people are expected to
  determine the right candidate

• There are also some benefits to using social
  media in screening that are hard to overlook. For
  example, certain positions such as church
  leaders, security officers, and the like require
  that the right person be hired to ensure safety
  and accountability, and social media can reveal
  important traits and behaviors that can help you
  discern whether a person is right for the job.
  For example, a screener may look for drug use,
  signs of violent or hateful tendencies.

• Another way to avoid potential legal problems is
  to separate the screening process from the hiring
  decision maker. If these are two different
  people, then the screener can review the
  information available and then show only what is
  permissible to the decision maker. Another thing
  to remember is that background screening
  companies are subject to the Fair Credit
  Reporting Act and must get permission from the
  candidate or applicant to pull such information.

• These days, employers are recognizing the value
  not only of an employee's diligence but also the
  person's capacity to perform the job in the right
  place, at the right time and with the right state
  of mind. Employment screening is, thus, an
  exploration of the total character of the
  applicant and how this character can be a
  positive or negative influence on the achievement
  of the company's goals.
• Always ask for appropriate and basic requirements
  that shall be the basis of information that you
  need. Most of all, create a systematic selection
  process with a unique style that is effective
  enough to determine the candidate capacity.
  Sometimes, having a standard process can let the
  interviewee tell the whole truth. It is not
  making the system excruciating but rather a
  resourceful mean of practice in hiring. Reaching
  out to other companies for information is costly.
  Find a way to do the process right, legal, and
  effective.
