Selection is the process of choosing the
most suitable persons out of the applicants. In the selection process, the
candidates are divided into two parts- Those who are suitable for the job and
those who are not. It involves rejection of those applicants who are not fit
for job and so sometimes it is described as “ NEGATIVE PROCESS”.
Selection
starts with reference of job which indicates not only the immediate requirement
of job but other qualities which may be desirable. The personal qualities which
form the base of selections are skill, experience, education and training, age,
physical characteristics and intelligence etc. The effective selection program
is not random process because those who are selected are chosen on the basis of assumption that they are better
applicants than those who are rejected.
