APSY621 - Recruitment & Selection

Recruitment and selection are critical to achieving organisational goals and employee growth. In this postgraduate course, you will be learning the best practices for attracting and hiring the most appropriate talent for a job role. We will be covering three key stages in the recruitment and selection process: 1) conducting a job analysis, and 2) developing and 3) validating a selection system. Throughout the course, you will apply what you are learning to a class project—a job analysis.

At the end of the course, you will be able to:
1. Conduct a job analysis, and create verifiable job descriptions and specifications.
2. Develop tools for a selection system informed by a job specification.
3. Determine the validity of selection decisions.

5. Justify the value of personnel psychology in contemporary workplace practices.
