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

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.

Applicant Pool

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

following factors or criterions.
1. EDUCATION
