Description

This updated edition covers the latest research on selection methods. All of the major methods are reviewed: interview, references and ratings, biodata, ability tests, personality assessments, assessment centres and miscellaneous methods such as work samples, in-tray tests, tests of physical strength and others. Technical issues of validity and criteria are also fully covered, as is the role of the law in selection. Finally, the author discusses in detail the latest developments in the field.
