Abstract:
This paper is an abbreviated, practical, research-based guide for the practitioner and
anticipated practitioner - the student - of human resource management. It features contemporary
recruitment and selection best practices for the human resource manager, recruiter and/or
hiring supervisor, to include legal and technological developments. Twelve steps are
sequentially reviewed beginning with the job analysis and ending with the background and
reference checks. Current research on behavioral interviewing (Green, 2007) is detailed as well
as guidance for pre-employment testing and conducting reference checks. The authors have over
forty years combined experience in human resource management and employment law.
