Successful people selection in action

Abstract

As a people‐intensive industry, the health care service should invest both time and resource in attracting, selecting and retaining its staff. Highlights the fact that the traditional interview is a poor selection tool. Outlines a systematic approach to hiring people and describes the structured behaviour interview tool. Explains the tool using a recent recruitment exercise in the health‐care setting. Concludes that line management should play an active role in staff selection and organizations should look for better approach and tools to improve their hiring effectiveness.
