Effective Selection Procedures: Page 33 S H R M Section One

Effective selection procedures that match employees' qualifications to the job, such as valid tests and improved interviewing, can increase retention as employees are a better fit. The use of realistic job previews also aims to increase retention by managing applicants' expectations of the actual job duties. While the means of impact are debated, realistic job previews generally provide a useful way to improve retention, as does collecting biodata on applicants' objective characteristics.

Effective Selection Procedures

When firms hire employees that match well with the organization, the job,
and their coworkers, there is an increased likelihood of retention. Recent
survey research indicates that careful selection is the most widely used
method for retaining front-line employees.53 In addition to the use of
selection procedures, such as valid tests and improved interviewing
processes to obtain better job matches between employee job
qualifications, the use of realistic job previews (RJPs) also can increase
retention. RJPs attempt to show applicants what the actual job is going to
be like. As a result, there is less likelihood that applicants will accept jobs
that fail Page 33 STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Section One to conform to their
expectations. The exact means by which RJPs influence retention is the
subject of some debate because there are several variables that can have
an impact on their ability to affect retention. Nonetheless, RJPs provide a
useful means for increasing retention in many circumstances. In addition,
the use of biodata, which are data on objective characteristics such as
years of experience, bilingualism, and college education, improves
retention.54
