play00:34

you to understand the selection process

play00:37

better and I hope you have already

play00:41

learned about this selection process and

play00:43

challenges that a manager face at a

play00:45

workplace so in selection analytics 3

play00:48

also we will learn few more matrics that

play00:52

will help you to understand the

play00:54

selection process better right so what

play00:58

we will learn let us discuss

play01:00

as we already know that selection is a

play01:02

negative process recruitment is a

play01:05

positive process we invite the people to

play01:08

come and apply for the job post but in

play01:12

selection we reject the people so that's

play01:14

why it is a negative process so in this

play01:17

session we will learn how to do the

play01:20

rejection analysis as well as we will

play01:24

understand the importance of this

play01:25

rejection analysis and we will

play01:28

understand the if effectiveness of this

play01:31

screening method importance of testing

play01:35

effectiveness of the selection method

play01:37

also that is what we will discuss right

play01:40

so these are the things that we will

play01:42

discuss in this particular session so

play01:44

let us start with the employee rejection

play01:48

analysis so in each organization

play01:51

whenever this selection process takes

play01:53

place we reject some of the candidates

play01:56

right so what I want being a manager I

play02:00

want to make you understand you should

play02:03

learn why you are rejecting the

play02:06

candidate what what is the reason for

play02:08

their rejection that is what you should

play02:11

understand so if you will see uh this uh

play02:16

selection seat or I can say that

play02:19

interview

play02:20

seat right so where one side you will

play02:23

see in a interview seat factors are

play02:26

there like criteria right and then you

play02:30

will see

play02:32

desired right what are the things that

play02:34

organization is needed in the candidate

play02:37

and candidate characteristics right so

play02:39

Factor could be related to the

play02:41

background Factor can be related to the

play02:45

person right ability right Factor could

play02:48

be related to the personality right and

play02:52

then what is the desired level for

play02:54

example background is there so somebody

play02:56

may require the 5 year of work

play02:58

experience this is the desire

play03:00

and how much candidate is having

play03:02

candidate is having for example four

play03:05

right so in the same way that entire

play03:06

seat can be prepared and then the

play03:10

decision can be taken whether this

play03:12

candidate should be selected and whether

play03:14

this candidate should be rejected right

play03:17

so the if you will analyze these

play03:19

all

play03:21

parameters for a candidate in most of

play03:24

the jobs right you will find these

play03:28

all par meters are related either to

play03:33

person job fit either person team fit

play03:36

person organization fit person

play03:38

supervisor fit and one more fit that we

play03:41

can add person culture

play03:44

fit right so P person culture fit so

play03:47

these are the these are the reasons that

play03:50

we can see so if we have for example we

play03:55

have rejected the 200 candidate in our

play03:58

organization whoever has given an

play04:00

interview so 200 that we have rejected

play04:04

right so what is the reason for them

play04:08

what is the reason 20 uh so 50 people

play04:11

are rejected because of the person job

play04:13

fit 50 are rejected because of person

play04:16

team fit 50 are rejected just because of

play04:20

person organization fit 50 are rejected

play04:22

just because of lack of person

play04:24

supervisor fit right so if you know this

play04:29

particular think what is the reason for

play04:32

the rejection of

play04:34

your candidate you can divide this data

play04:38

as per the source of recruitment also

play04:42

source of the recruitment if people are

play04:44

coming from the third party people are

play04:47

coming through the employee referral so

play04:49

where is the high rejection rate in

play04:52

which source is a high rejection rate so

play04:55

that indicates that this High rejection

play04:58

rate indicates that the candidates are

play05:00

not suitable for the job so if your cost

play05:05

is uh involved in bringing the candidate

play05:09

from that particular source so you can

play05:11

think of reduce uh not investing time

play05:16

and money in that particular Source when

play05:19

you are rejecting the most of the

play05:21

candidate which are appearing in the

play05:23

interview from that particular so so

play05:25

that's the one thing that you can uh

play05:28

decide after doing this rejection

play05:31

analysis second thing that you can think

play05:35

of if in future you have to you don't

play05:40

want to conduct the

play05:43

second selection process for few

play05:46

candidate if you have to invite some of

play05:50

the candidate from this or you have to

play05:53

develop a waiting list for these uh

play05:56

positions that you had uh for which you

play05:59

were doing the selection if you have to

play06:01

develop the waiting list so what should

play06:03

be the criteria for the waiting list

play06:06

people who are rejected because of the

play06:09

person job fit they should be given the

play06:12

priority or people who are rejected

play06:15

because of the person organization fit

play06:18

they should be given the priority so

play06:21

according to your organization need you

play06:24

have to take a decision who should be

play06:26

given a priority on what basis you

play06:28

should develop the waiting list criteria

play06:32

right so this a waiting list criteria

play06:35

also you can develop by doing this

play06:38

rejection analysis whoever is being

play06:41

rejected inside the

play06:43

organization that is the one thing that

play06:46

another thing that you can analyze

play06:48

through this rejection analysis so uh so

play06:51

in addition to uh employer branding

play06:54

thing uh where to invest more that

play06:56

decision you can take through the

play06:58

rejection analysis second thing that you

play07:00

can do uh you can think about the weight

play07:03

list third thing again you can uh uh

play07:07

decide uh you can do the analysis in in

play07:10

depth you can go and then you can do the

play07:12

analysis Department

play07:14

wise right in which department people

play07:17

are rejected because of what right

play07:20

Department wise that is what you can do

play07:22

it right and then you can do City

play07:25

geography wise also like people who are

play07:28

coming from particular geography what is

play07:30

the reason for their rejection right

play07:33

particular Institute if it is a campus

play07:35

placement then from which campus they

play07:37

are coming and what is the reason for

play07:39

their rejection so if you will give a

play07:41

input to them then it could be good for

play07:43

that particular Institute also to train

play07:46

the uh upcoming students for that

play07:49

particular skill so that is why this

play07:51

rejection analysis is very important so

play07:54

the moment you have a number then you

play07:56

can convert into the percentage also so

play07:59

like uh 25% 25% 25% so this 200 I had

play08:04

taken the example and then equally I had

play08:07

divided among all four categories and

play08:10

the same way you can see the percentage

play08:12

also coming the 25 in each category so

play08:16

this analysis will help you as I already

play08:18

said you can go in depth and Department

play08:20

wise you can do the analysis city-wise

play08:23

you can do the analysis and you can make

play08:26

the two important decision through this

play08:28

analysis is

play08:29

first decision is related to employer

play08:32

branding uh in which area in uh in which

play08:36

source you have to invest more because

play08:38

if people are coming they are increasing

play08:41

the number of application but they are

play08:43

not suitable for the organization so you

play08:45

can invest less time and less money in

play08:47

on that particular Source right and who

play08:51

your candidate from where are coming

play08:53

more suitable more uh good candidate are

play08:56

coming from different sources then you

play08:57

can focus on that that is the one

play08:59

decision that you can take based on this

play09:01

and second decision that you can take

play09:03

how to develop the weight list criteria

play09:06

on what basis you should give the weight

play09:08

list criteria these are the parameter

play09:11

that you can decide and based on that

play09:14

you can develop the weight list criteria

play09:17

for the candidate next important thing

play09:20

that I always say we should think what

play09:24

is the ideal

play09:26

time for an

play09:31

interview how we should decide what is

play09:35

the ideal time for an interview for some

play09:38

positions you will see interviews may

play09:40

take one

play09:43

one uh day complete meting one day right

play09:48

different different department different

play09:49

different rounds right and sometime you

play09:53

will see interview is getting over just

play09:57

in 1 hour

play09:59

right 2 hours that process that you will

play10:02

see right how many number of questions

play10:05

that we should ask right what should be

play10:08

the number of the questions that we

play10:10

should ask so if we have calculated this

play10:13

data right for any job position so job

play10:17

category that you can write here uh let

play10:20

us say sales sales department right so

play10:24

average time so 50 people have given the

play10:26

interview for each 25 minute has been

play10:30

taken so 25 minute is the average time

play10:34

right so in order to utilize this time

play10:38

effectively you can decide the number of

play10:42

questions right five to six questions

play10:45

that may be asked and then along with

play10:47

their area also from which area these

play10:49

questions should be asked so if you are

play10:52

able to give this clear guideline to the

play10:56

a panel member whoever is sitting in a

play10:58

panel you can say this much time you can

play11:00

take in past this much time has been

play11:02

already taken and these many questions

play11:05

that you can ask one to two question

play11:06

related to the background one to two

play11:08

question related to the ability and

play11:11

various types of fit how you can assess

play11:13

and situation based question so what are

play11:15

the questions that you are supposed to

play11:16

give so that is how you can do the

play11:19

planning for the interview

play11:22

because you are having the fixed number

play11:25

of the candidate fixed number of

play11:27

candidates are there right right and

play11:30

number of panels are also fixed that you

play11:33

have already decided if panel is taking

play11:36

more time then it may be possible you

play11:39

will not be able to complete this

play11:42

interview process in entire day that

play11:46

also could be possible so but in past if

play11:49

you have conducted the interview and you

play11:51

know the average time is taken for one

play11:54

interview what is the average time right

play11:57

and if you you have to being a HR

play12:00

manager if you have to manage this

play12:03

average time then you have to decide the

play12:05

area from which area question should be

play12:07

asked and how many questions should be

play12:09

asked if you can say decide this thing

play12:13

so on an average you can decide the

play12:16

number of questions area type of

play12:18

discussion right so interview is a

play12:21

random process some other things also

play12:23

may happen followup questions Also may

play12:26

be asked but if you have calculated this

play12:28

average time so in some interviews it

play12:30

will take little bit more in some

play12:32

interviews it will take little bit less

play12:34

but on an average you will be able to

play12:36

calculate in a day how many candidates

play12:39

uh interview can be taken in your

play12:42

particular organization so that is what

play12:45

I say you can decide number of questions

play12:48

and number of uh average time for the

play12:50

interview so if you are able to do that

play12:53

then what may happen you

play12:56

may control or you can manage your time

play13:01

effectively at a workplace during the

play13:03

interview process right so that is what

play13:07

you can do by doing this so in the same

play13:10

way you can compare the department wise

play13:14

also right sales HR operations Finance

play13:20

right for each department how much time

play13:23

is being taken so you can tell marketing

play13:26

today marketing interviews are schedu Ed

play13:29

so uh this much time will take and if HR

play13:34

interviews are scheduled then this much

play13:35

time will be taken right so average

play13:37

timing that you should be able to

play13:39

calculate and number of questions that

play13:40

you can average number I'm not saying

play13:42

you should instruct only these questions

play13:44

you will ask to the you you can say to

play13:47

the panel I'm not saying you should say

play13:49

to the panel you ask only these

play13:51

questions to the interviewer no I'm

play13:54

saying average number of questions that

play13:56

you can suggest and area from which area

play13:58

this should be asked in order to do the

play14:01

holistic assessment of the candidate in

play14:05

the interview process so if you have

play14:08

these two things in if you in your hand

play14:11

the average time of interview and number

play14:14

of questions average number of questions

play14:16

that has been asked during the past

play14:19

process right uh Department wise so then

play14:22

you will be or Department wise or job

play14:25

category wise uh if you have this

play14:27

information with you you will be able to

play14:30

manage your interview process very well

play14:34

next thing that we can calculate and

play14:37

that Rao that I always suggest that we

play14:39

should have the certain number so first

play14:42

thing first number that you can have

play14:44

number of

play14:46

candidate rejected after screening of

play14:50

the application right so after screening

play14:53

of the application let us assume th000

play14:56

employees have applied for a job so how

play15:00

many people because thousand have

play15:02

applied it means I hope you understand

play15:05

the difference between eligibility

play15:07

criteria and screening criteria so

play15:10

eligibility

play15:12

criteria they fulfill the eligibility

play15:14

criteria they fulfill the eligibility

play15:17

criteria that is why they have applied

play15:19

to this job right so thousand people are

play15:21

fulfilling the eligibility criteria

play15:23

whatever job posting that you have given

play15:26

and after that you believe that this, is

play15:30

too high th000 is too high so now you

play15:35

cannot take the interview of thousand

play15:37

people because in again if you want to

play15:39

give a opportunity to all people then it

play15:43

will take time it will involve certain

play15:45

cost right so you have decided you were

play15:48

not expecting to receive the th000

play15:50

application for this post but you

play15:52

received it right so now what you need

play15:54

to do you need to develop the screening

play15:59

criteria right so screening criteria

play16:03

could be what let us assume experience

play16:05

that you had put here job experience is

play16:08

3 years right but you have make it you

play16:11

have made it four year four year so the

play16:14

moment you will make it four year then

play16:16

few applications will reduced so that is

play16:19

how what you can do you can keep this

play16:22

screening criteria a little bit up you

play16:24

can reduce and you can identify what is

play16:27

the suitable number

play16:30

uh for your interview process so that is

play16:34

that is how you can based on this IG

play16:36

screening criteria you can identify

play16:39

certain candidates

play16:40

so if you are receiving the more number

play16:43

of the candidates for a job position and

play16:46

you are increasing the screening

play16:49

criteria it indicates that you are

play16:51

already filtering and you are get uh

play16:53

going for the higher quality of the

play16:55

candidate for you are taking higher

play16:57

quality of candidate for for the

play16:59

interview process right so that that

play17:02

that number you should know this was the

play17:05

screening criteria and these many people

play17:08

were eligible for this job all right now

play17:14

once the selection is done everything is

play17:16

done then one more important thing that

play17:19

you should know that rejection after the

play17:24

reference check right so after the

play17:27

reference check some time it may be

play17:29

possible some people have given the

play17:33

false reference right and when you check

play17:37

the reference that about the candidate

play17:39

you did not get the good

play17:42

information right and when you try to

play17:44

verified some information about the

play17:46

candidate those informations were false

play17:50

right so after this process after this

play17:52

reference check how

play17:54

many candidates were

play17:57

rejected let let's say 10 candidates are

play18:00

rejected after the reference check right

play18:04

and what is their reason next thing that

play18:06

you need to uh understand how many

play18:09

candidates that rejected after the

play18:12

medical checkup why these numbers are

play18:15

important because if you understand if

play18:19

you know these numbers then you should

play18:22

know one particular thing when you are

play18:25

selecting the candidates you should h

play18:28

think

play18:30

always about one thing for if number of

play18:35

positions are there and the job Final

play18:38

job offer that you are giving it is less

play18:41

than the positions

play18:44

available

play18:46

then it indicates that you could not

play18:49

conducted the selection process

play18:52

effectively right so if you know these

play18:55

numbers in advance in past what has

play18:58

happened so it may happen this year also

play19:01

right so after the selection also after

play19:04

the making the final selection also

play19:07

these people may be may not be able to

play19:09

join your organization because their

play19:11

reference check was not good and they

play19:13

were having the some medical problems

play19:16

also so these numbers are also very very

play19:19

important and then screening number is

play19:22

very very important this after the

play19:24

screening because that will tell you

play19:27

every year

play19:29

how much what should be the screening

play19:31

criteria if every year your screening

play19:34

criteria is going higher and higher it

play19:37

indicates that your quality of candidate

play19:41

is increasing and one more another way

play19:44

you can say that your employer brand is

play19:47

increasing right because you are getting

play19:49

the good quality of the candidate and

play19:52

you are able to attract the good

play19:54

candidate from your competitors so it

play19:56

indicates that your employer brand also

play19:58

going up and up and your screening

play20:00

criteria is going up and up right so it

play20:02

is in favor of the organization so you

play20:05

should know how to increase the

play20:08

screening criteria if you will increase

play20:10

from this to that then how many

play20:12

applications will not be applicable for

play20:15

this particular position so that is what

play20:17

you should know in advance so that is

play20:20

why these numbers are very very

play20:22

important and you

play20:24

can you can have these numbers with you

play20:27

and in the form of percentage in the

play20:29

form of a bar graph by chart you can

play20:33

present it but you should have these

play20:35

numbers during your selection process

play20:38

also now let us discuss about the

play20:41

another method is

play20:44

your effectiveness of selection method

play20:48

so selection method that we already

play20:50

discussed like

play20:52

interview uh physical test computer

play20:55

based test right and personality test

play21:00

and AI based game right so these are the

play21:04

various type of selection method right

play21:07

so that is what you can select this

play21:10

selection selection method and then you

play21:12

can

play21:14

check what is the person person job fit

play21:17

percentage of person job fit according

play21:21

to this test if these test are testing

play21:24

the person job fit right so if these

play21:27

test are testing the person of fit

play21:29

during the interview physical test

play21:30

whatever is a mode of the selection you

play21:34

percentage of person job fit right and

play21:38

performance rating after 1 year or

play21:41

percentage of goal achievement after one

play21:45

year so if for example percentage job

play21:48

fit that is the test is giving that is

play21:51

the

play21:52

80% right and performance rating that is

play21:55

coming that is just one or two just

play22:00

between one or two that is the

play22:01

percentage rating and percentage of goal

play22:03

achievement is just uh 20% is right so

play22:09

what it indicates that it indicates that

play22:13

that selection test that you have used

play22:17

to assist the person job fit it was not

play22:21

useful because if the person job fit is

play22:25

high then person should be able to

play22:27

perform at a workplace right right and

play22:29

but performance rating and percentage of

play22:32

goal achievement both things indicate

play22:34

that this person job fit was not good

play22:38

right so here if this is the thing that

play22:41

is coming out it clearly indicates it

play22:44

gives a signal to a manager to change

play22:47

the selection method right so by which

play22:50

method you have assess the person of fit

play22:53

right and your ratings are different

play22:56

your percentage of goal achievement is

play22:59

different right so just I have taken the

play23:01

ex one example of person job fit in the

play23:03

same way you can take the example of

play23:05

person team fit behavioral aspect that

play23:07

you can take it and then you can check

play23:09

the rate performance uh review

play23:12

performance rating on behavioral aspect

play23:15

given by the manager if you have rated

play23:17

so high during the interview but rating

play23:20

during after one year is so poor it

play23:23

means you failed to assess the in uh

play23:26

candidate interview during the selection

play23:29

process so that clearly indicates that

play23:32

so here what you can do all type of fit

play23:34

that you can keep here and through which

play23:37

method you have checked it right if you

play23:41

find it your results were so high uh

play23:45

during the selection process but after 1

play23:47

year it is very poor that it is poor

play23:51

ratings are there poor results are there

play23:53

so it indicates that your method of

play23:56

selection was not appropriate to assess

play24:01

that one particular skill so it

play24:03

indicates that you should change the

play24:05

method of selection so that is what you

play24:07

can see in how many cases so what is

play24:11

happening let us assume you selected the

play24:14

100 candidates and out of 100 how many

play24:17

candidates were having the mismatch and

play24:20

they perform since during the selection

play24:22

they ratings were very high but during

play24:24

the actual performance their ratings

play24:26

were very poor so in how what is the

play24:29

percentage of that in addition to that

play24:31

one more two more criteria that I will

play24:34

add Cost Plus time Cost Plus time that I

play24:38

will add what is the cost for per

play24:43

candidate right whatever test that you

play24:45

have selected so what is the cost per

play24:48

candidate in order to conduct that test

play24:50

so physical test are there computer

play24:52

based test are there so you have to hire

play24:55

external agency to conduct that test it

play24:57

could then what is the cost per

play25:00

candidate and how much time it is taking

play25:03

to prepare the result right so that that

play25:05

also you can consider so whether it is

play25:07

time taking or not so all these three

play25:10

parameter you can check the

play25:13

effectiveness of the selection method

play25:15

right but first thing first ranking that

play25:17

I always give to assessment of the

play25:20

appropriate skill if the selection test

play25:23

is not able to assess the appropriate

play25:26

skill then in how many many cases he the

play25:29

test is not able to assess that is what

play25:31

you should consider and if it is very

play25:34

high if it is going 30% 40% cases where

play25:37

right assessment of a skill is not done

play25:40

then seriously you should think about

play25:42

changing the selection method right so

play25:45

next concept that we have importance of

play25:48

testing so whatever test that you have

play25:51

done right so here you can write the

play25:53

name of the candidate and how many years

play25:57

that candidate has SP

play25:59

and then performance rating and the

play26:01

cognitive ability interview rating and

play26:04

integrity test right so here importance

play26:07

of testing right so these all test are

play26:10

there and ratings are there and here

play26:12

performance rating is there so if in all

play26:16

test employee has performed so well

play26:20

right and performance rating also so

play26:22

high and that person is continuing with

play26:24

the working right it indicates that that

play26:28

Cate assessment was correct but if in

play26:31

all test candidates ratings is so high

play26:35

but performance ratings are poor and

play26:40

person leaves the

play26:42

organization within a year within a six

play26:44

month within a uh month that indicates

play26:49

that our assessment was not up to the

play26:52

mark right so that analysis we should be

play26:55

able to do in what case in what is the

play26:57

percentage of the cases

play27:00

where uh the percentage of performance

play27:03

rating how many candidates were having

play27:06

the performance ratings were good and

play27:08

how many were not having the good so

play27:10

that analysis we can do it if it is

play27:12

going 50/50 it means we need to improve

play27:15

because if it is going it is going down

play27:19

it indicates that you need to conduct

play27:21

the recruitment in selection process

play27:23

again right and you have to conduct that

play27:26

Recruitment and selection process and

play27:27

again and again and which is a cost so

play27:30

if you want to save a cost by Rec

play27:33

conducting it you can increase the

play27:36

assessment method by which uh you will

play27:38

be able to assess the candidate

play27:40

perfectly in all aspect and then you

play27:43

will be able to select a candidate and

play27:45

that candidate will stay for your

play27:48

organization now question comes how we

play27:51

should decide for how many years a

play27:54

candidate should work with your

play27:56

organization so in that case I suggest

play27:58

only one thing you should go with

play28:01

industry average what is the industry

play28:04

average right for how many years one

play28:07

employee wants to work with you because

play28:09

current Trend if you will see most of

play28:12

the employees don't want to work more

play28:14

than 3 years with one organization they

play28:16

work for 3 to four years and then they

play28:18

move to the another organization so if

play28:22

people are working for 3 years then you

play28:24

can say it is okay because it is

play28:26

industry average so that is how you

play28:28

should compare with your industry in

play28:30

which industry you are working right and

play28:32

then you should compare and then you can

play28:34

think about whether it is up to the Mark

play28:36

or not so I hope in this session you

play28:39

would have learned about the importance

play28:40

of testing effectiveness of selection

play28:43

method few numbers that you should

play28:45

remember you should understand in order

play28:48

to make some projections right an

play28:50

interview time and average number of

play28:53

questions how you should decide it and

play28:55

employee rejection analysis how it will

play28:57

help you

play28:58

to uh take important decisions in your

play29:01

organization so thank you
