Managing Staff Selection and Assessment

Offers a strategic approach to managing staff selection and assessment in organizations. Author Iles (human resource development, Liverpool John Moores U.) discusses the dominant psychometric model as well as perspectives from strategic management theory, social psychology, and critical theory. Developments in the U.K. and internationally are addressed using specific organizational case studies. Recent research findings and their implications for organizational practice are also discussed, with the focus on the management of assessment rather than on the technical competence of carrying out assessments in practice.
