What can the use of a long complex selection process symbolize to job seekers?
Selection entails choosing the best candidate among job applicants to fill the job vacancies within the organization. Applying an extended and complex selection process is increasingly symbolic to job applicants primarily because it communicates potential job security and confidence in the recruitment process. By undergoing a tough recruitment process, some job applicants are inclined to feel secure because passing all stages of the selection process inspires their confidence pertaining to the job screening process. The complexity of the selection process reiterates transparency and communicates that only the best candidate whose skills match the job requirements will be chosen (Karim et al., 2021). In addition, the various stages in a complex selection procedure, including preliminary interviews, employment tests, and reference checks, imply the careful and transparent verification process, thus augmenting the job applicants' confidence in the exercise (Brishti & Javed, 2020). In other circumstances, other job seekers might view the long, complex selection process as unfair by associating it with discrimination and favoritism of some candidates over others (Rozario et al., 2019). The extended and tough selection process potentiates positive and negative reactions to job applicants.
