The construction of the personnel selection process allows you to systematize work with candidates and make it more effective by using selection methods that meet the goals of the organization in the field of human resource management. If the selection is carried out intuitively and not structured, the company spends a large amount of financial, time and labor resources, while losing the opportunity to analyze the effectiveness: without fixed responsibility for the selection stages of organizational units, prescribed selection stages and requirements for the candidate at each stage, the organization cannot, if necessary, identify problems in time and promptly adjust the process. This article describes the procedures for the selection of secondary medical personnel in a sanatorium-resort organization. The analysis of the personnel selection process of a sanatorium-resort organization is carried out, the selection problems are highlighted, which the authors’ recommendations are aimed at, in particular, a competency model is developed, and a portrait of the candidate is formulated that corresponds to the competency model, job description and opinions of the participants in the selection process.

Why employers prefer Mark to Mohammed Why employers prefer Mark to Mohammed In personnel selection procedures, Dutch employers prefer Dutch candidates to those with a non-western minority background with same educational level, age and work experience. We conducted 106 in-depth interviews to examine why employers and other personnel selectors in the Dutch labour market prefer Dutch candidates. Results show that employers associate workers of Moroccan and of Antillean descent with employment risks, such as trouble on the work floor. As the consequence, these candidates are put in the back of the labour queue. Employers have more positive associations with people from a Surinamese or Turkish background, but, nevertheless, prefer candidates from a Dutch background. Dutch candidates are more familiar and therefore the safer choice. We conclude that the preference for employees with a Dutch ethnic background is the result of risk avoiding behavior, based upon personal experience and images of ethnicity in media and society.

The turning academic tide: Chances for personnel selection research The turning academic tide: Chances for personnel selection research The psychology of personnel selection is one of the oldest and most important applied domains within psychology. After a period of little academic interest in the Netherlands for this domain, the present age offers new chances for selection research. The Dutch governmental research organization NWO requests submitted research proposals to deliver results which are societally useful. Selection research without any doubt fulfills this requirement. Results from 82 meta-analyses of psychological research (Mitchell, 2012) demonstrate the significance of research valorization as well: the tenability in practice of psychological lab research was best for work and organizational psychology, specifically in the area of selection, training, personnel management and organizational behavior. Selection research needs to make use of the favorable impression it makes by conducting more and innovative research, such as studying technologically advanced selection methods and the usefulness of social media for selection. Such research will promote an evidence-based selection practice.
