have selected as necessary for success in a particular job.?

interviewing and staff selection process? Define the qualities,
talents and skills you?d most like to have in a new employee.?

?To minimize the risk of discrimination lawsuits, it?s important for
interviewers to be familiar with topics that aren?t permissible as
interview questions. For example, you shouldn?t ask a female applicant
detailed questions about her husband, children and family plans. Such
questions can be used as proof of sex discrimination if a male
applicant is selected for the position, or if the female is hired and
later terminated.?

Reference Checking:
?Prior to making a job offer, a prospective employer is likely to
check your references. Many employers won't give out any more
information than starting and ending dates of employment and salary
information.?
?Questions Employers Ask When Conducting a Reference Check?
http://jobsearch.about.com/od/referencesrecommendations/a/refercheck.htm
?Why do employers want to check your background? It could be for one
of several reasons. If government security clearances are required for
the job you are interviewing for, an employment background check may
be required. The employer may want to make sure you are telling the
truth. It's estimated that up to 40% of resumes can contain false or
tweaked information, so, employers want to insure that what they are
getting in an employee is what they were promised.?

who surveys candidate references.?
