Answer:

The correct answer is d. predictor of selection criteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The main objective of a selection process is to predict the job behavior of the candidates to choose the one that best fits the requirements of the position (professiogram) and the culture of the organization (competency profile).

The simplest way to do this would be to give all candidates the opportunity to join and, after a certain time, evaluate their performance to detect who has obtained the best ratings and fire the rest.

But it is clear that this procedure has so many disadvantages (economic, operational, administrative, legal and even ethical) that it is much more appropriate to carry out a prior selection process and hire only those who can predict that it will fit better.
