serving the effects of the
interrogations upon him.

In some large organizations, in the rush season, 100 new employees may be
added every day. In order to select this number, perhaps several hundred
applicants may be interviewed. Obviously, a detailed and thorough analysis
of each cannot be made. Under such conditions, however, the work is
usually of such a character that the most casual observation on the part
of a trained interviewer will reveal at once the fact that the applicant
either is or is not fitted for the work to be done.

As a result of the analyses made by the employment supervisor and his
staff, applicants are recommended to foremen who have made requisitions
for the filling of vacancies. Bear in mind, it is not the function of the
employment department arbitrarily to employ. When a desirable applicant
has been found, he is sent, with a recommendation, to the head of the
department which has made requisition for an employee. Then the foreman or
superintendent or the manager either rejects or accepts the applicant. In
case of rejection, the executive returns the applicant to the employment
department, stating his reason for his action.

When an applicant is accepted, the employment department notifies the
paymaster, also places a folder for a new employee in the file. It is
often highly desirable, also, before sending an employee to a foreman to
inform him fully and in detail as to the work he is expected to do, the
conditions under which he will be expected to work, the rate of pay he
will receive, the opportunities for advancement, and all other information
which may decide the applicant for or against accepting the position if it
is offered to him.

REPORTS AND RECORDS

6. The employment department organizes methods for receiving regular and
complete reports upon the performance and deportment of every employee in
the organization. These reports include punctuality, attendance,
efficiency, special ability, deportment, home environment, and habits,
companions, and other necessary and valuable information. Every employer
who has the good of his employees and their advancement at heart ought to
know these things. Reports are received from foremen and superintendents,
also from others who are especially assigned by the employment supervisor
to secure the information.

RECOMMENDATION FOR TRANSFER, PROMOTION AND INCREASE

7. As a result of these reports and of its own analysis, the employment
