Summary and Further Reading
In free market countries, the personnel profession
has adopted a 'best practice' model which fits the prevailing business ideology. This
model prescribes a quest for the 'right (best) person for the job'. To achieve this goal,
criteria are used to rate prospective applicants by means of selection techniques,
including biographical data, interviews, psychometric tests, group exercises, simulated
work samples and even handwriting analysis. The most definitive form of selection is
likely to take place within the context of assessment centres, which involve several
assessors and a variety of selection techniques. The 'best-person' or psychometric model
has achieved the status of orthodoxy in free market countries. Elsewhere different models
of resourcing apply. For example, in Japan there is a greater concern with personality and
background than presumed ability. Recruits are sought who will 'fit in' with the culture of
the corporation; who will be content to build a career within the organization; who will absorb the goals of the organization.
