Selection Process

Selection is the process of choosing from a group of applicants those individuals best suited for a particular
position. Most managers recognize that employee selection is one of their most difficult, and most important,
business decisions. This process involves making a judgment -not about the applicant, but about the fit
between the applicant and the job by considering knowledge,skills and abilities and other characteristics required to perform the job Selection procedures are not carried out through standard pattern and steps in this. Process can vary from organization to organization some steps performed and considered important by one organization can be skipped by other organization.
Environmental Factors Affecting the Selection Process A permanent, standardized screening process could greatly simplify the selection process. However, development of such a process even if it were possible and desirable would not eliminate deviations to meet the unique needs of  particular situation.

Legal Considerations
Legislation, executive orders, and court decisions have a major impact on human resource management. It is important for hiring managers to see the relationship between useful and legally defensible selection tools.

Speed of Decision Making
The time available to make the selection decision can have a major effect on the selection process. Closely following selection policies and procedures can provide greater protection against legal problems; however, there are times when the pressure of business will dictate that exceptions be made.

Organizational Hierarchy
Different approaches to selection are generally taken for filling positions at different levels in the organization.

Applicant Pool
The number of applicants for a particular job can also affect the selection process. The process can be truly
selective only if there are several qualified applicants for a particular position. The number of people hired for a particular job compared to the individuals in the applicant pool is often expressed as a selection ratio.

Type of Organization
The sector of the economy in which individuals are to be employed private,  governmental, or not-forprofit can also affect the selection process.

Probationary Period
Many firms use a probationary period that permits evaluating an employee's ability based on performance. This may be either a substitute for certain phases of the selection process or a check on the validity of the process.

Selection Criteria
Mostly the selection of applicant depends upon the
following factors or criterions.
1. EDUCATION
2. COMPETENCIES
3. EXPERIENCE
4. SKILLS AND ABILITIES
5. PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS

Applicant who is best fit should be hired instead of hiring a person with extra ordinary skills it means right person for right job should be hired person who is over or under qualified for the particular job will not be able to adjust in the organization.

STEPS IN THE SELECTION PROCESS
The selection process typically begins with the preliminary interview; next, candidates complete the application for employment. They progress through a series of selection tests, the employment interview, and reference and background checks. The successful applicant receives a company physical examination and is employed if the results are satisfactory. Several external and internal factors impact the selection process, and the manager must take them into account in making selection decisions. Typically selection process consists of the following steps but it is not necessary that all organization go through all these steps as per requirement of the organization some steps can be skipped while performing the selection process.

Number the ten bags from 1 up to and including 10. Then take one marble from each bag.Totally put the 10 marbles from different bag in the weighing machine.Among these marbles only one has a weight 9Gram.Now watch the total weight and also simultaneously take the marble one-by-one from the weighing machine.If any one marble removal gives the loss of exactly 9Gram,that marble bag is the bag that contains only 9Gram of marbles.

Yes, I will.  When a gun barrel is manufactured for a handgun or rifle, a series of spiraling grooves is "cut" or machined into its interior surface.  These are put into the barrel in order to impart a spin to the bullet as it passes through the barrel. The spinning bullet has stability in flight and travels in an accurate manner.  The markings that are left on the bullet from the barrel rifling is what the forensic firearms examiner utilizes in determining whether two bullets were fired through the same gun barrel. 

As an example, a shooting case received in the forensic lab might have a fired bullet removed from a victim and a suspect weapon from a suspect. The question posed is whether the evidence bullet was fired from the suspect's weapon. An initial inspection of the bullet and weapon is performed to determine whether they match with respect to the same general specifications such as caliber, number and width of lands and grooves, and direction of twist. If they match with respect to these specifications, the firearms examiner will then test fire the weapon into a water tank or other catch box. The fired bullet is then recovered and is used as the "known" or test bullet from the suspect weapon.  The examiner next uses a piece of equipment called a comparison microscope that allows a split screen side by side view of two objects placed on its two separate microscope stages. The evidence bullet is placed on one one stage and the test bullet on the second stage. The examiner looking through the microscope and is able to see a side by side view of the rifling on the evidence and test bullets.  He looks around the entire circumferance of the two bullets to see whether there are matching barrel engraved rifling marks. If there are, the examiner can give the opinion that the two bullets were fired through the same gun barrel.

While screening tests are very accurate and reliable tests, they are not 100% accurate. Samples which screen positive are presumed to be actually positive, but the specific drug must be confirmed by a more specific method. The method employed by the Toxicology Section for all confirmations is gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

In confirmatory tests, a procedure specific to the class or family of drug for which the sample screened positive is employed to "wash" or separate the drug itself from the matrix, i.e. blood or urine, in which it resides. The procedure of separating the drug from the sample is called an extraction. The Toxicology Section has different procedures for each class of drug. The general scheme of an extraction is to adjust the pH of the sample, expose the sample to an organic solvent to wash out the drug, collect and concentrate the organic solvent, and derivatize the drug in the sample. Some extractions have a but a few steps in the scheme, while others have many steps. The extraction process is one of the most time-consuming aspects of drug testing.
