Salary
-
Reliability
-
Validity
Correct Answer
A. SalaryExplanation
Selection devices are tools used during the recruitment process to assess various aspects of candidates, such as their skills, qualifications, and suitability for the job. These devices can include tests, interviews, and assessments. While salary is an important consideration in the overall recruitment process, it is not typically measured by selection devices. Instead, salary negotiations and discussions usually occur at a later stage, after the candidate has been selected. Therefore, salary is not included in the list of things that selection devices measure during recruitment.Rate this question:

What can a recruiter not ask in an interview?
-
Do you have any convictions?
-
Are you married?
-
What did you like least about your last job?
Correct Answer
A. Are you married?Explanation
Asking about someone's marital status during an interview is considered a violation of anti-discrimination laws. It is illegal for a recruiter to make hiring decisions based on marital status, as it is irrelevant to a person's qualifications or ability to perform the job. Asking this question can lead to potential bias and discrimination, as it may influence the recruiter's perception of the candidate. Therefore, it is important for recruiters to avoid asking about marital status during interviews.Rate this question:

Which is the most popular source when looking for a job?
-
Internet
-
Referrals
-
Temporary Agency
Correct Answer
A. ReferralsExplanation
Referrals are considered the most popular source when looking for a job because they involve recommendations from people within one's network. These recommendations carry weight and credibility, as they come from individuals who have firsthand knowledge of the job seeker's skills and qualifications. Referrals often lead to higher chances of getting hired, as employers trust the judgment of their current employees or contacts who vouch for the candidate's abilities. Additionally, referrals can provide valuable insights and insider information about job openings that may not be advertised publicly.Rate this question:

An organization's orientation is for the purpose of reviewing company policies and procedures.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
An organization's orientation is not solely for the purpose of reviewing company policies and procedures.

It may also include providing information about job roles, responsibilities, and expectations, as well as familiarizing new employees with the organization's structure, facilities, and processes. While reviewing policies and procedures may be a part of orientation, it is not the sole purpose. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:

Supervisors often use the appraisal process to make decisions about salary, promotions, and behavior.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Supervisors often use the appraisal process to make decisions about salary, promotions, and behavior. This statement is false. While supervisors may consider performance appraisals when making these decisions, they typically take into account various other factors as well. Salary decisions may be influenced by market rates and budget constraints, promotions may be based on qualifications and organizational needs, and behavior may be assessed through observations and feedback from multiple sources. Therefore, the appraisal process is just one component in the decision-making process for supervisors.Rate this question:

What our jobs _________ and what __________ we get fall under the heading of conpensation and benefits.
Correct Answer
pay, benefits
pay, hours
pay, daysExplanation
The question asks about what falls under the heading of compensation and benefits in relation to our jobs. The correct answer is "pay, benefits" because pay refers to the salary or wages received for work, while benefits encompass additional perks or rewards provided by the employer. The options "pay, hours" and "pay, days" do not accurately represent the concept of compensation and benefits as they only focus on the aspect of time worked rather than the overall package of remuneration and additional advantages.Rate this question:
- 10.
Employee benefits are _________ paid to employees to _________ their lives.
Correct Answer
rewards, enhance
incentives, trouble
randomly, shortenExplanation
Employee benefits are rewards paid to employees to enhance their lives. These benefits can include health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and other perks that aim to improve the overall well-being and satisfaction of the employees. The word "incentives" does not fit in this context as it implies a motivation to perform better rather than improving their lives. Similarly, "randomly" and "shorten" do not make sense in relation to employee benefits.Rate this question:
