In summary, the main purpose of the hiring process is to obtain job related information to match the most qualified applicant with the position. The process is designed to answer specific questions: Does the applicant have the experience, education, and skills necessary to successfully perform the job? Does the applicant share the values, mission, and goals of the health service? The nurse manager must develop and advertise a current job description, review applications, and interview with that job description in mind. An additional goal for the nurse manager is to create a process that is fair, objective, non-biased, and non-discriminatory, and that will result in a successful match between the new employee and the health service.
