Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This study aimed to identify the perceptions of job applicants about the personnel selection process. It was a descriptive exploratory qualitative study made up of a semi-structured interview which aimed to obtain better opening and depth considering issues that might ensue. Seven graduates of over 22 years old who have previously been in any kind of selection process took part in the study. Another relevant criterion for the research was that the participants should be unemployed. As a result, the personnel selection process is not only considered a stage to be fulfilled, but it is a way to acquire experience, to learn to behave in future selections and to learn about other people’s experiences even though having similar goals to other participants. The selection process was also positive in order to help the people to know themselves better, being considered as a source of professional and personal learning which doesn’t have negative consequences in the person’s life. Another factor was that the choice of companies where they deserve to work is based on salary, benefits, career plan and references from people who have already worked in that company. Although the personnel selection process was positive, the approval or failure in the selection was considered as necessary and indispensable information to be forwarded to the participants by the companies in which they were candidates.
