2. Selection tools for graduate-
This is to evaluate the tools that are generally used by the recruiters to ire the graduates. It
mainly involves some effective procedures such as screening, telephonic interviews, verifying
the background details of the candidate, drug testing and skills assessment, etc. From which, the
most basic considerations are as specified below-
 Application forms and Curriculum vitae- This is one of the most basic tool that has
been referred by the recruiters at the time of hiring process to recruit the most effective
candidate. Although, this procedure resembles the traditional method in which the
2

candidates were required to submit a lengthy form, either hand written in the form of hard
copy or online forms. It often tends to reflect a disturbing aspect for many candidates
applying for a job. It is therefore important for the recruiter to only involves some really
necessary fields in the application. The graduates should hereby know well about the
process of filling up an application form to specifically address the asked points. Besides
this, the undergraduates must also learn about this procedure with a prime responsibility
of their schools and institutes to clearly demonstrate them about it. Regarding CV which
is becoming a less common method in the selection criteria should be framed well with
less considerable pages as per the demand of today’s recruiters (McQuaid and Lindsay,
2015). The undergraduates should also know this well and create a well framed CV to
fetch the interest of the recruiters.
 Online screening and shortlist- In these organizations short list those people who are
selected for the interview and organisation give information through mail and message
that come and give interview of those people.

on which employer makes his or decision for hiring. However, it is important for the
graduates to ensure that during interview the individuals needs to professional in terms of
answering and questioning. Further, the individuals needs to be prepared for every
questions which belongs to his or her resume and qualification. Mentioning wrong details
on CV to garb attention is the most unethical practice which can ruin entire interview.
Therefore, it can be said that undergraduates need to ensure that detailing resume with
lame qualification and skills can create trouble for both interviewee and interviewer.
 Aptitude tests: Ability test are essential part of selection where the in employer focuses
on analysing general intelligence, numerical ability, clerical ability etc. It is the base of
selection therefore it is important for the graduates to ensure basic hold on aptitude test.
Thus, in accordance to this it can be suggested to undergraduates. It is important for the
educational institution to include aptitude learning in classrooms. Further, the institutions
can also organise special programme in order promote their knowledge over skills which
are tested during interview.

 Group discussion: It is another major part of selection process, where all the selected
candidates are given one topic for discussion. In this the manager evaluates interactive
and skills and knowledge of person while discussion. In accordance to this, it can be
suggested the educational institution needs to organisation group session which will helps
the individual in developing knowledge over different topics. Moreover, it will help in
boosting confidence of student which will be effective for their future interview.

are reached given time. This is the skills which make impression to the organizations.
