In past job search experience, every institution uses their designed job application system for example career search website platform or the same institution website. Also, every job position posted had a job description and specific qualifications for what the institution is needing to find. This helps narrow down qualifying applicants.
Reliability and validity both relate to recruitment and selection of practice. Deesler (2017) states that reliability is the selection tool’s first requirement and refers to its consistency and validity tells you whether the test is measuring what you think it’s supposed to be measuring. Both factors are important when considering a job position since the testing scores completed during the job application and recruitment process will show the best candidate for the position. The VA employee recruitment and selection process are extremely extensive. The first process is to complete the online application. If your resume matches the job position and description, then your application moves to the second phase of the interview. If selected, then you are moved to the criminal background process which can take up to 6 months. This process is extremely long for future candidates to wait to start a job position.
