Managing Selection in Changing Organizations: Human Resource Strategies ReviewAs stated by series editor Eduardo Salas, "this volume is about the practice of selection strategies in rapidly changing organizations. A timely topic for both practitioners and scientists. Jerard F. Kehoe was able to assemble an excellent group of industrial / organizational psychologists to write about how selection interfaces with individual, social, and organizational factors. The chapters describe how demographic changes, team-membership, cultural differences, legislation, and social policy influence the selection strategy process. The chapters offer many useful and practical insights about the practice of selection strategies in an every-changing organizational world. This volume is invaluable to those concerned with applying selection processes in organizations and to those who research selection systems."
In this context, as a sample, in fourth chapter of this book, "Managing 'Customers' of Selection Processes", Stephen W. Gilliland and Bennett Cherry (1) focus on managing the customers of selection, (2) specifically consider the perspective of each customer group in each of the three stages of the selection process (that is, development, assessment, feedback), and (3) finally conclude the chapter with some summary recommendations for maintaining as successful customer-based selection system.
