The current economic crisis in Europe is an unfortunate reality, and job opportunities for those wishing to apply for a new job are often slim: the disparity between supply and demand is disproportionate, and those currently looking for a new job have a lot of competition. From the point of view of the employer who has the opportunity to invest in new human resources, the role of the selection interview plays a crucial role: the manager must be able to invest in the right person, identifying the best professional for the proposed task.<\/p>\n
Who puts himself forward for a job, lies about his CV and his real skills? Of course they do! <\/p>\n
Sometimes such lies may be mere exaggerations, often compensated for by the worker quickly adapting to the new job. But very often this is not the case, and the incorrect and fraudulent professional may indeed turn out to be unsuitable for the job, and his incompetence may result in enormous damage to the company in terms of wasted time invested and money given, as well as affecting the lives of other potential candidates, unfairly discarded during the initial selection process (who may be much more professionally competent than he is).<\/p>\n
They may be the only ones who are able to make the right choice.<\/p>\n
The ability of HR (whoever is in charge of selection, recruiting, training, organisation, talent management and development) is crucial: whoever carries out the task of personnel selection must be able to make the best possible choice when assessing a new candidate.<\/p>\n
