SCIENCE OF SELECTION

1-DAY WORKSHOP ON SELECTION SKILLS

13th

January 2017 at VITS Hotel, Ganesh Baba Nagar, NASHIK

Why this Workshop?

Have you heard unusual selection stories like these?
1. When Google discovered Performance in College (Grades) has no correlation with
Performance at Google, it revamped its selection process. Today, 14% of its employees do
not even have a college degree.
2. Many IT Firms including TCS are increasingly hiring failed entrepreneurs.
3. At one Online Retail Company, the Taxi Driver who picks up Candidates for the interview
plays a key role in the selection process - his observations of the Candidate based on
interactions during the journey, are treated as strong behavioural evidence of job fit.
4. Globally, tech firms are hiring Graduates with Useless Liberal Arts Degrees (think BA/MA
in English/History) for coding jobs.
5. At one Fast Food Chain, the selection process includes interviews with Spouse and Children.
6. At one of the worlds most popular low-cost airline, Cabin Crew are sourced from among
the staff that work in asylums, orphanages and foster homes

Selection is as much a science as it is an art and examples like the ones shared show how some
of the best companies globally have tapped into seemingly unique selection practices. Strange
as they may seem, these practices are strongly anchored in behavioral science wisdom and
help organizations tap into an alternative work force.
This Workshop is based on the Selection Mindset, Approaches and Tools that the worlds highly
Talent Focused Companies leverage in order to attract, select and retain top-performing
employees.
