RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

a study on the negative impacts of a selection process

Abstract

The recruitment and selection of candidates plays a key role for any organization in the search for talent that fits its needs and organizational cultures. A poorly structured and flawed selection process can have detrimental consequences for an organization. In this sense, this article aims to describe and analyze the perception of selection practices and identify the negative impacts in relation to inadequate management. The study is a mixed model research, as it is a study with quantitative and qualitative data at an exploratory level. For data collection, an online form was used, which was structured by the authors. 133 people who went through a selection process at some point in their lives participated in the survey. The invitation to respond to the form was sent via the messaging application. According to the results obtained, it was noticed that the experience that the candidate had plays a decisive role in the formation of the company's image. Uncomfortable or embarrassing situations during the process and failures in its steps can have a relevant impact on the company's perception and must be treated with care and attention to promote a satisfactory and constructive experience for all involved. In addition, we sought to emphasize the importance of the organization having adequate strategic planning in this decision-making process.
