Selection Innovations: 'Hiring for Fit'
Ed Hurst, Managing Director Australasia, Kenexa
Over the last 10 years, assessment and selection techniques have become increasingly high-tech, transferring much of the work online and automating the sifting/testing components. This has increased the success rate in identifying talented individuals and has enabled scarce resources to be focused on the high-touch, latter stages of assessment.
However, selection still tends to address only one challenge—identifying candidates who fit the job requirements as closely as possible. In most instances, this focuses on some combination of skills, personality, aptitude, knowledge and motivation.
