Care Nursing Home had relied on interviews as their sole selection method in the recruitment of nurses. The nursing home conducts two interviews - an informal and a formal interview. The first (informal) interview was led by the Nurse Manager and one other Staff Nurse; this was used to learn basic information about the candidate and to review the information on the application form. The second interview was more detailed and explored a wide range of issues with the candidates. The panel consists of the Nurse Manager, HR Manager, and Director of Nursing. Due to time constraints, panel members were usually unable to meet in advance, so they developed their interview questions independently. Although the Nurse Manager chaired the interviews, they were rarely carried out in a consistent manner with the candidates.

Evaluate the current selection method, and suggest three additional selection methods to complement the current selection process. Explain how each method can contribute to identifying a suitable candidate.
