Explain Barriers to effective selection.

(i) Ineffective Recruitment.
Sometimes selection process gets affected due to ineffective recruitment initiatives. If the recruiter fails to attract qualified candidates (in recruitment process) then it is obvious that right candidate will not be selected (in selection process). Therefore, ineffective recruitment will definitely influence selection.

(ii) Perception.
Our inability to understand others accurately is probably the most fundamental barrier to selecting right candidate. Selection demands an individual or a group to assess and compare the respective competencies of others, with the aim of choosing the right persons for the jobs. But our views are highly personalized. We all perceive the world differently. Our limited perceptual ability is obviously a stumbling block to the objective and rational selection of people.

(iii) Fairness.
Fairness in selection requires that no individual should be discriminated against on the basis of religion, region, race or gender. But the low number of women and other less privileged sections of society in the middle and senior management positions and open discrimination on the basis of age in job advertisements and in the selection process would suggest that all the efforts to minimize inequity have not been very effective.
