Abstract
This paper discusses a positive approach to employee selection utilising concepts from positive
organisational behaviour. It takes a thematic approach to positive selection covering topics of being
dynamic, outcomes focussed, contextual, holistic, transparent, and be a positive experience for
applicants and selectors alike. The paper introduces the concepts of a dynamic view of merit and
critical success factors in supporting a positive process. Data from interviews of HR managers are
used to illustrate the themes. Challenges for HR managers in obtaining support to develop and
implement positive selection are highlighted.
