As if you didn't have enough to worry about when applying for a new job, employers have now started using handwriting analysis to weed out unsavoury candidates from the application process. A new handwriting analysis technique can uncover hidden traits in candidates that could seriously undermine business endeavours and upset the work place environment.
One expert, simply defined, is someone who has extensive knowledge in a specific area of Handwriting analysis. In a legal sense, an expert must also have the knowledge, training and experience that qualify in the eyes of a court order to testify about their field of expertise. A handwriting expert is qualified in this field, but differs in the definition of a Forensic Document Examiner, who has expertise in areas in addition to writing, namely cancellations ink, typewriters, etc.
In the olden days, recruitment management comprised of locating the appropriate candidates whose resumes in terms of qualification, experience, age, mobility and maybe even gender matched with the requirements of the job vacancy and then selecting the person who performed the best in the verbal interviews and whose reference check threw up a clean background. The turbulence in the business environment over the past few years has given rise to the realization that but for a few exceptions, for most organizational positions, it is the personality of the incumbent that defines successful impact and development over educational qualification and past experience.
