Selection and staffing

Selection and Staffing focuses on matching people and their career needs and capabilities with jobs and career paths. Human resource planning identifies the personnel needs. Once these needs are established a job analysis is done, which clarifies the characteristics of jobs being done and the individual qualities necessary to do these jobs successfully. This information is then used to recruit a pool of qualified applicants. The process of narrowing this set is one of the major objectives of selection. The applicants are assessed against the criteria established in job analysis in order to predict which job applicants will be successful if hired.
