Selection methods Chosen selection methods The two selection methods for eligibility of the chosen managerial role, manager as a negotiator are: Ability and aptitude tests Online screening and short listing Both the methods that are selected shows that when the selection will be made for the position of an manager as a negotiator then the foremost thing to be considered is the place where the mediations will be made by those making the recruitments. Dessler (2002) says that firstly, the ability and the aptitude test for the manager include - Verbal ability This will help in the process of knowing the verbal ability of the elected candidates and when the candidate will show his remarkable talent in the form of verbal ability, then it can be decided that he owns the best of it. Numeric ability: While making the selection of the candidate, one requires having the basic knowledge of the numerical ability. This test is basically designed to check what kind of the potential the candidate has for the good of the organization. General intelligence- The most important part of this selection method is that of the general intelligence. As it is known that, general intelligence is always tested with the different ways and when the manager has to work n the organization with the suitable manner, and then it is at most required to put up the same talent and intelligence. The general intelligence will cover all the part that is required to test the capability of the candidate. What really the recruiters will be looking though this test is that when the negotiations is to be made, the general awareness of the situations are necessary. Spatial ability: The spatial ability will also test the right thing for the candidate. Sensory and motor abilities: The process of the reflection of the thoughts will be carried in the manager role when he will be making the role play of the DECISIONAL ROLE. It is well recommended by the recruiter that the initial screening of the applications is made with the assessment of the candidates experience and also that of the qualifications that is all against the jobs requirements. Online systems are always available for the filter of the applications automatically. When there are the criteria through the different word searches then the online selection procedure will focus on the screening of the application that the number of the candidates will be short listed. There is also use of the online screening and that is linked to the fact that with it, there is useful way of the filtering through the huge volume of the applications when the numbers of the application will rise and it will be counted with it. For example, when the same post is applied for many reasons, there will be the same reference number. This approach shows that all the applications are received online and with it there will be the use for the internet as the tool. It may be sometimes very difficult that when the key words in the search is made used then they should not overlook the applications and it would also get the match with the person specifications. Some of the organizations also use this approach and they have to make the use of the long application and in order to ensure that the candidate has given all the appropriate information; the applications are to be searched through the word search. Possible challenges associated with selection methods Aswathappa (2001) says that the aptitude test is the natural abilities and it makes one to learn about the sort of the activities with the quick manner. One is always familiar with the aptitudes and candidates might have heard about the gifted artists, politicians and musicians. A great many people are not sure of their abilities and when the aptitude test is made then the main thing that is to be noted down that altitude test may be the helpful guide. With this, aptitude, it is expected by the recruiters that there will be shown the ability test in the right direction. The people are not always aware of their innate talent that resides in them. With these, it cannot be said that aptitude test will be fruitful. It is sometimes, that one who is among the appearance in the examination performs better when one is outside and it is sometimes, one will be able to give the best in the exam scoring such a high grades and the marks but with the suitability of the position, likewise in this c ase when the role is offered of the manger is that they have to make the negotiations, but what if the attitude test is cleared but the candidate is not able to make the verbal and the communication possible. The test is designed to pick out the best candidate. The person or the candidate who appear for the exams will have to look for the right direction. In this way, it is not necessary that the aptitude test will finally give the right candidate. For this purpose, there is always said to apply for other kind of tests. The online screening is other way where the students are required to focus on the online questions and the applications are selected on the same basis. With this way, the candidate is selected. But here the challenge that is faced by the organization is online sequence and the selections of the applications will not make the process as easy as it is expected. There is higher kind of expectations from the candidate and thus, the candidate will look for the good questi ons but the answers merely through online will be able to help if the candidate is not sure. Therefore, with the above process, the logical sequence and other processes are included. Implement the selection methods effectively There are many other procedures that could be implemented with the selection methods and could make it more effective. Likewise, in the aptitude test, one can also include the general awareness such as information based methods. In the online screening, the number of the questions that are asked might reduce or increase as per the need of the time. Also, when the examination is made, then the recruiters should focus on proper attention in regard to the fact that the online screening test must put up the logical questions and the selections are made on the process, therefore, it is required that there should have numbers of questions in the way, it could follow in the simpler form. With all these methods, time frame could create improvements. Conclusion Ghosh (2005) says that to recommend on selection, recruiting is not an easy task. The recruiters have to study the entire bio data and for this purpose, the most important thing that is considered is they have to plan the way by which the candidates will be elected. There is also the probability to see how much efforts are being given by the person and how the candidate will appear in the paper. The exams are thus comprises with various methods. Here in this assignment, basically the two important approaches and methods have been discussed to select the candidates. The candidates require going through this examination and with every stage, candidate is required to pass the exams. The two selection methods are aptitude test and online screening. Both the ways are good to test the ability of the candidate. The candidate is required to pass these exams. It is commonly found that the patterns for the exams are kept in the manner that will help to serve the need of the exam. The exams are thus to be carried with full concentration. Therefore, the exams when are conducted are performed well by the candidates and they are selected. The online screening test looks to the online application forms. Now a day, it is observed that most of the recruiters look for the selection of the candidates through the kind of the examinations that will enhance the skills of the candidates. In this way, the both selected methods will help to get the good and right candidates. Thus, to conclude, it is said that there are different challenges faced by HRM at the time of selecting the candidates such as negotiations and other ethical issues that can be resolved with the implementation of logical questions and negotiations can be resolved with the convincing approach.
