Candidate Selection
Why selecting and assigning team members is a manager's most important task, and how modern methods raise the probability of choosing the right person.
Selecting and assigning team members is the most important task of every manager, in every company, at any level.
In his works, Peter Drucker pointed out many times that the weakest results are found precisely in this area. This means there is a great deal of room for improvement, and considerable effort is required to advance the entire methodology of selection and assignment. Today, thanks to modern psychology, modern research and accumulated experience, we are able to raise that level to a 90% probability of choosing the right person.
To achieve this, we must bring into play not only interviews, not only tests, but also simulations of teamwork and other activities that fully reflect the qualities of our future colleagues. Today we are dealing with various so-called intelligences, where creative intelligence, emotional intelligence, social intelligence and even spiritual intelligence play a major role in revealing a person’s characteristics and predicting their future behaviour.
To choose the right people, we must delve into all these spheres of human intelligence so that we end up with people who are more self-motivated, who drive both themselves and their colleagues, who are able to work both in a team and independently, who genuinely enjoy their work, and who, in their decision-making, are guided not only by administrative procedures but also by so-called spiritual values that enrich both work and people’s lives.
One of the reasons people do not apply the most advanced methods and techniques of personnel selection is insufficient or inadequate software support. For this very reason, we have embarked on a major project to develop new software that will make selection processes easier, faster and far more precise.
