The selection process involves a sequence of steps to determine candidate suitability for the job and company. The proper order is:
Selection tests (C): These evaluate candidate abilities and job compatibility through assessments like aptitude, personality, and skills tests.
Employment interview (B): This provides a deeper understanding of a candidate's experience, skills, and personality, offering insights beyond tests and resumes.
Reference checking (D): Previous employers or contacts are consulted to verify the candidate's past performance and conduct.
Selection decision (A): The final stage where a hiring decision is made based on all gathered information.
This structured approach ensures a comprehensive evaluation prior to hiring.
