| Selection Methodologies Choosing an assessment tool The purpose of a selection process is to gather information to make an informed decision as to who is the best applicant for the job. There are a number of assessment tools that can be used throughout the recruitment process including: • Shortlisting • Structured behavioural interview • Self advocacy interview • Assessment centre • Cognitive ability test • Peer assessment • Reference checks • Work sample tests • Work examples • Practical skills tests • Presentations There are no legislative requirements specifying the assessment techniques to be used in a selection process, the only requirement is that the selection method(s) chosen must be fair, reasonable and able to assess the work-related qualities of candidates against the work-related qualities required for the duties. The choice of assessment tool depends on many factors including the nature of the position and the nature of the applicants. Generally, there should be more than one tool used in arriving at a selection recommendation as no tool alone is a totally reliable predictor of an applicants job performance. If applicable, applicants should be made aware of the tools that are going to be used. |
