Personnel Selection encompasses all the processes and methods involved in the selection of workers. The purpose of personnel selection is to determine the best candidate for the job and in so doing the recruiting organization must play by the rules laid down by the government for recruitment. Validity refers to the relationship between interviews and excellent performance at the job.
Validity implies that the method of selection must meet up to a standard criterion. This standard criterion is the expected job performance required of the potential employee. Different interview types (such as job-related, situational, and psychological) have different validity levels.
