Human Resource Screening

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses how our society has transformed into an information-based society and so there is an influx of individuals receiving college degrees. The paper explains how this complicates the task of screening applicants for jobs. The paper therefore calls for human resource managers to create better screening processes.

From the Paper:

"As is seen in Francois Pichault's article entitled HRM-Based Reforms in Public Organisations: Problems and Perspectives, many attempts have been launched during the last decade in an effort to renew human resource policies and devices. However, according to Pichault, many of these efforts have ultimately failed because of numerous reasons all relating to a lack of coherence. According to Pichault, this lack of coherence is 1) within the content itself, 2) between this content and the context in which it is introduced, and 3) the process by which it is implemented."
