Levels at Which Selection takes Place Selection of employees in an organization can take place at any level, both horizontally and vertically. But the most common level where selection takes place are:

It is also called white collar level. *In government the managerial level starts at BS -17. All levels above BS-17 and above are managerial positions. Generally, speaking organizations select managers at the entry level of the manager position. But organization may select managers at any level. The advantage of selection at entry level is that managers are trained according to the requirements of the organization Selection of Manager Organizations may seek to hire experienced managers for a variety of reasons. A newly created post may require a manager with experience not available within the organization; the talent to fill an established post may not be available within the organization; A key position may suddenly open up before there is time to train a replacement; or a top performer in a competing organization may be sought to improve the organization’s own competitive position. As experienced manager who is up for selection usually goes through several interviews before being hired. The interviewers are almost always higher-level mangers who attempt to assess the candidate’s suitability and past performance. Interviewers try to determine how well the candidate fits their idea of what a good manager should be and how compatible the candidate’s personality, past experience, personal values, and operating style are with the organization and its culture.

3. 3. A detailed presentation (perhaps in a brochure) of the organization’s policies, work rules, and employee benefits.
