It is important to emphasize, however, that pharmacists need to monitor and influence the personnel office s performance in the placement process.

A second reason is that the personnel office does not have to suffer as much from the consequences of a bad employee choice. Pharmacy personnel will bear the brunt of a bad employee selection. Therefore, it is incumbent on pharmacists to... 

Whether based on past performance or current performance, predictors must not only be accurate, they must also be relevant to the actual tasks to be performed. In other words, the criteria against which candidates performance is assessed must match those of the tasks to be performed (Swezey 1981). One way to ensure that predictors match tasks is to use criterion-referenced assessment of predictor variables for employee selection. To do this, one must ensure that the predictors match the tasks for which one is selecting candidates as closely as possible on three relevant dimensions the conditions under which the tasks will be performed, the actions required to perform the task, and the standards against which successful task performance wiU be measured. While it is better to have multiple predictors for each important job task (at least one measure of past performance and one of current performance), it may not always be possible to obtain multiple predictors. We do not recommend using a single predictor for multiple tasks—the predictor is likely to be neither reliable nor valid. 

The employee selection literature is well developed in the area of structured employment interview development (see Hufifcutt 2011 Levashina et al. 2014 for useful reviews and guidelines). The addition of a set of experience-related questions into a stmctured employment interview will provide a much more comprehensive profile of an applicant s experience and also allow for vastly more accurate predictions of their experience-related risk potential. Furthermore, it will give an indication of how long it may take for the individual, if employed, to become an experienced operator an indicator of the extent of supervision and training which might be needed to ensure the new employee s safety.
