The supervisor wants to select employees who will contribute to excellent departmental performance.

A review of the selection criteria is critical to identifying the best applicant. Depending on the organization, subordinates, peers, or team members may have a say in determining who is hired. This involvement varies from assistance in defining job duties to having a say in the final decision.

The hiring decision will never make everyone happy. Documentation of the selection process is critical in helping to demonstrate that the process is based on job-related factors and is nondiscriminatory. P-9687
