 for HRM 635 What pre-employment selection methods can be used to find the best candidate that fits the culture of the organization? 

It is important that when an organization is hiring to fill a position, that they select a candidate that fits into the culture of the organization. Some per-employment selection methods that can be used to help find the best candidate include background checks and reference checks. Dessler states “One of the easiest ways to avoid hiring mistakes is to check the candidate’s background thoroughly” (Dessler, 2020). Background checks can look at things like legal eligibility for employment, dates of prior employment, military service, education, identification, county criminal records, motor vehicle record, credit, licensing verification, Social Security number, and reference checks. Reference checks can help an organization understand what type of employee a candidate is and how they work with others. This information can help determine if they would work well in the type of work culture the organization has. I think that using these methods is standard among many organizations but it sends a message that the organization is looking for a candidate who just isn’t qualified based on education or skills, but has a attitude and social maturity that aligns with the organizations culture. Any pre-employment assessments that are used such as skills test, or even background checks should be done for every applicant being considered for the position to eliminate any biases, and using technology can help with this as well to eliminate any human biases that may occur.
