Candidate Selection Criteria: A Summary of the Recruitment Process

Bertrand Lhommeau and Véronique Rémy

Economie et Statistique / Economics and Statistics, 2022, issue 534-35, 61-81

Abstract: [eng] This article examines the extent to which the employer selection criteria and the research and selection methods implemented vary by occupation, based on the 2016 DARES OFER survey. Classifying occupations according to selection criteria results in four classes. The personal attributes needed for "public-facing occupations" are assessed through telephone interviews, the work capacity expected in "manual work" through testing, the skills and potential to perform "technical occupations" through interviews and tests, and qualification and listening skills required in the "personal assistance occupations" through a detailed application form. The hiring assessment drawn up by the employer (satisfaction, duration, difficulty, etc.) varies greatly depending on the classification of occupation.
