Question

An HR department at a manufacturing firm wants to ensure that applicants for production jobs provide complete information about themselves in a standard format. The most effective method would be to ask candidates to submit a résumé.
True / False.

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation:

While a review of resumé would give some information about the job a physical interview would give a proper insight on the capabilities of the pool of applicants for the job.

So also verbal communication would help you access their strengths and properly allocate them to departments where they would be most efficient if selected.

A resumé wouldn’t give you such opportunities.

Answer 2

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

This alternative is false, since in order to achieve the objectives of the company's HR department to ensure that candidates provide more complete information about themselves in a standard format, the most ideal is that the interview technique be used.

Recruitment and selection is used in an organization to attract ideal professionals who will help the company to achieve a prominent position in the market, so it is necessary that the techniques used in this process are aligned with the company's objectives.

In this matter, the interview would be better suited to achieve the objectives, as the interview is the occasion that the recruiter has to get to know the candidate better, check his behavioral profile, his previous experiences and the data exposed in the profile. The interview usually follows a standardization, it can be structured, where there is a script of questions previously prepared, semi-structured, or unstructured, and the best format depends on the reality and objectives of each company.
