This book is designed to serve as a guide for anyone involved in the recruitment, interviewing, selection, or orientation steps of the employment process. For those who are not human resource development specialists, it will provide the skills, tools, and techniques needed to operate effectively in these areas. (The terms human resource development specialists and personnel specialists will be used interchangeably throughout this book. Although the trend has been toward the more all-encompassing term human resources, many organizations still refer to this field as personnel.) Depending on a variety of factors, including the size of an organization and the role of human resource experts within that organization, senior executives, managers, and supervisors often find themselves performing personnel functions fairly reg-ularly. Because so few professionals perceive personnel-related tasks to be an integral part of their job, they may approach this area of responsibility with some trepidation. The increased impact of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action laws and regulations on the hiring process can also be unnerving to those who are unfamiliar with this aspect of the employment process. This book will guide those human resource development professionals who are new to the field and need step-by-step guidance. It will be a useful refresher for those who have worked in the field for some time and wish to update or upgrade their skills. It may also serve as a basic reference for training workshops in various aspects of the employment process.
