Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of biodata system for the hotel employee selection. Data were collected by developed questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to human resource managers in 33 five star hotels located in Hurghada. After excluding incomplete questionnaire, 29 questionnaires were valid representing a valid response rate of 87.8%. The results showed that most hotels use biodata as a selection method to choose and recruit their employees.  Biodata was found negatively related to staff turnover. In other words, when hotels use biodata system to select their staff, their staff turnover will be reduced. Moreover, the results indicated that there is no significant difference between hotels according to management pattern about the use of biodata system for employee selection.
