Some organizations set up a selection process that is long and complex. In some people’s opinion, this kind of selection process is not only more valid but also has symbolic value. In other people’s opinion, it is way of keeping some people out of the selection process. In your post, address the following questions:

· What can the use of a long, complex selection process symbolize to job seekers?

· How do you think this would affect the organization’s ability to attract the best employees?

· Is the long and complex process equitable?

· What would you do different to attract the best candidates?

· In light of the considerations above, if you were responsible for applicant selection, how much length and complexity would you want in your selection process?

In North Carolina’s local government, there has been a trend in using a firm called Developmental Associates to help recruit and select staffing.  Their selection model is both long and complex.  Potential candidates may be required to complete an assessment center that includes a written interview assignment, phone interview, personality examination, and a three-fold panel interview.  I thought you might find it beneficial to review their process as you complete your response to this discussion question.
