The psychometric tests indicated a person who would be very loyal when once accepted in to a group. The decision was made to offer the job to Candidate C. Any lingering doubts or questions over the chosen candidate can always be taken up by arranging another brief interview before making the final offer. This is done preferably in person but a telephone conversation is acceptable if there is some urgency. It is also better, if there are any lingering doubts or uncertainties, to sleep on any decision and revisit the data the following morning, in the clear light of day.

Similarly the profile for the applicant is very specific on experience and competencies. The financial reward is very broad and therefore runs the risk of getting applicants with varying degrees of experience within the job profile. At least this company is not afraid to put a figure on the salary, which is becoming increasingly uncommon, as opposed to the meaningless “competitive package” statement, which is now the accepted norm in such scientific jobs. Clearly this company do not want to attract a long list of applicants, they want a person who can fill the post with an absolute minimum of introductory training.

Jobs are matched against standard job descriptions where data from the market is available. Analytical procedures involve analysing the job against key factors and competencies and then scoring these using a standardised points system. An example of such a sys- 23 24 1 Building the Scientific Skills Base of the Group tem that has been used commonly in industry for many years is the Hay method, and this is described briefly below. The Hay Evaluation Method The Hay Evaluation Method is based on the consideration that each function in an organisation is there in order to achieve results.
