Marking-scheme solution
First four steps in Selection Process:
(i)
Preliminary Screening: It helps to eliminate
unqualified or unfit job seekers, based on the
information supplied in the application forms.
(ii)
Selection Tests: Selection tests attempt to measure
certain characteristics of individuals like aptitude,
intelligence, etc.
(iii)
Employement Interview: Interview is a formal, in-
depth conversation conducted to evaluate the
applicant’s suitability for the job.
(iv)
Reference and Background Checks: Employers
contact references specified by the applicant for the
purpose of verifying information and gaining additional
information on an applicant.
Benefits of using Internal Sources :
(i)
Employees are motivated to improve their
performance through learning and practice and remain
satisfied with their jobs.
(ii)
It simplifies the process of selection and placement
since the candidates are already known to the
organisation.
(iii)
People recruited from within the organisation do not
need induction training. Transfer is a tool of training the
employees to prepare them for higher jobs.
(iv)
Transfer has the benefit of shifting workforce from
surplus departments to those where there is shortage of
staff.
(v)
Filling jobs internally is cheaper as compared to
getting candidates from external sources.
