Answer to Question 2

Answer: Selection is the process of choosing from a group of applicants the individual best suited for a particular position and the organization. Properly matching people with jobs and the organization is the goal of the selection process. If individuals are overqualified, underqualified, or for any reason do not fit either the job or the organization's culture, they will be ineffective and probably leave the firm, voluntarily or otherwise. There are many ways to improve productivity, but none is more powerful than making the right hiring decision. A firm that selects high-quality employees reaps substantial benefits, which recur every year the employee is on the payroll. On the other hand, poor selection decisions can cause irreparable damage. A bad hire can negatively affect the morale of the entire staff, especially in a position where teamwork is critical. An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a software application designed to help an enterprise select employees more efficiently. They often involve screening rsums and spotting qualified candidates, conducting personality and skills tests, and handling background checks. In most cases, the goal is not merely to reduce costs but also to speed up the hiring process and find people who fit an organization's success profile.
