Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Quick Guide to Human Resource Testing is a quick reference guide for human resource (HR) practitioners who use or plan to use assessment instruments in any context. It includes explanations, tips, case studies and suggestions to help practitioners get the most out of their HR testing. Those in charge of recruiting and selecting new staff face a decision-making process that needs to be responsible in its implementation and to produce a positive and wide-ranging outcome. The cost of a wrong selection decision has been estimated to be anywhere between one and a half times and five times the salary of the job in question. Studies have shown that appropriate assessment tools enhance the chances of making good selection and recruitment decisions. Testing is also important to the HR practitioner in a variety of other contexts, including team building, change management and ongoing organisational needs. Good practice and appropriate use of tests are as vital to these areas as they are in the selection and recruitment of staff.

Book excerpt: The intention of the manual is to provide an updated reference source for personnel professionals who want guidance on the legal implications and methodology of applied research as it relates to employment and hiring practices. Several steps are taken in personnel employment: 1) the position requirements and needed skills are determined; 2) a search is conducted within and outside the organization through position advertisement and recruitment procedures; 3) job applicants are assessed through application procedures, personal interviews, and tests; 4) the selected employee is notified, enrolled in benefit programs, and oriented to job and organization policies. Special attention must be given to laws relating to personnel selection. Employers should be aware of legislation that protects against discrimination for minorities, older persons, women, veterans, and handicapped persons. Personnel and employment interviewers must be unbiased with skills in interviewing, counseling, testing, and clerical perception.

Download or read book Workplace Testing written by Diane Arthur and published by AMACOM/American Management Association. This book was released on 1994 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What tests can we use before hiring? After hiring? How reliable are the results of personality tests? Will drug testing help our organization, or open the door to lawsuits? How can we make sure testing doesn't violate an employee's privacy? Confused about the use of tests in the workplace? Most employers are. The subject is controversial and increasingly complex. But here at last is a comprehensive, practical guide to all facets of preemployment and employment testing, designed to answer every question that you have. Written by an expert in human resources management, Workplace Testing delivers a complete overview of the various types of tests available to employers today: drug and alcohol testing; psychological testing; personality testing; integrity or honesty testing; and physical testing, including AIDS and genetic tests. Each chapter also includes a summary checklist of key points for ready reference. What's more, you'll learn to evaluate each type of test within a larger context that helps you understand the positive and negative aspects of testing; choose among the vast number and variety of available tests; develop clear testing policies for your organization; ensure that tests are administered and interpreted competently and fairly; steer clear of legal liability resulting from test misuse; use tests appropriately for better hiring, career development, and enhanced productivity; recognize the limitations of testing; and elicit information by other means, from application forms and references to interviews and performance appraisals. At every step, Workplace Testing guides you through the minefield of legal considerations surrounding this issue. In nontechnical terms, the author describes the impact of key legislation - including the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, Americans with Disabilities Act, and Drug-Free Workplace Act - and identifies federal guidelines that govern testing by employers. Employers afflicted by professional "test anxiety" can refer to this valuable guide with confidence. It will help you determine whether testing is appropriate, desirable, and lawful in virtually any work situation - and will help improve recruitment, hiring, and retention throughout your organization.

Download or read book HR Manager s Guide to Background Checks and Pre employment Testing written by Adrian Miedema and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are many types of pre-employment background checks or tests available to employers. These checks can assist employers in hiring applicants that are well-qualified and skilled for the positions for which they are applying. Some of these checks will also assist employers in identifying "red flags" and thus mitigating against certain risks--such as hiring an applicant that may pose a risk of fraud or theft to the organization. Other types of checks will help employers obtain a sense of who the applicant is as a person, so that they can better assess whether the applicant will "fit" within the organization. In recent years, employers have begun to check references with greater frequency and thoroughness. This book has been designed to help employers understand what types of checks are legally permissible, and how to conduct these checks in a way that minimizes risk to employers. The authors advise that interviews and reference checks be conducted before the employer extends a conditional offer of employment to the job applicant, but all other background checks and tests discussed in this book should be performed afterwards. The following types of background checks are reviewed in this book: personal interviews, reference checks ,education and professional certification checks, credit checks, psychometric tests, medical and fitness tests, police records checks, drug and alcohol tests, and immigration, terrorism and industry-specific security checks." --Publisher description.
