Abstract

Once the short-listed candidates have been identified, the next stage is to subject them to a procedure which measures the personal qualities listed in the personnel specification. As subsequent chapters will show, there are many different measures to choose from. Eventually a decision between the different methods will need to be made. The most logical way is to set out, in advance, the requirements which good selection methods should meet.
