Selecting the new employee

Reviews Selecting the new employee (1949), by Paul W. Boynton, a work described as a practical, down-to-earth review of the major principles of employment selection written in a simple, readable, non-technical manner. Issues covered in the book include the employer's obligations, employee qualifications, recruitment, the employment department, interviewing techniques, and tests. The book is criticized for contributing little that is new or unique, and not presenting the more sophisticated developments in the field.
