HOW COMPANIES FIND AN IDEAL CANDIDATE ? From where do employing organizations find information about the people who are their prospective employees or theoretical ideal candidate ? The answer of this question is: they find information about their prospective employees from different sources- application forms, references (if organizations depend on these), written tests, interviews and in some cases group discussions, from application forms, organizations get information about applicant’s technical qualities and, to some extent, behavioral qualities. From references, organizations can have complete information about the ideal candidate 2 though this method is not applicable if number of applicants is very high particularly at the first entry level. From tests, organizations can get information about candidate’s technical and behavioral qualities. |

However, for this purpose, tests have to be very comprehensive and time consuming. Therefore, tests are used by organizations to weed out the candidates who are prima facie not suitable for further selection process. Interviews are the methods through which the organizations can judge overall suitability or unsuitability of applicant’s technical and behavioral qualities. In many organizations, tests and interviews are conducted to determine this overall suitability or unsuitability of the candidates particularly at the first entry level while in other organizations, only interviews are sufficient for this purpose.
