When recruiting teachers for the PG level, job specifications are published: PhD in the subject, years of experienc, etc. Applicants may have all the papers/certificates asked for and yet fall short of suitability -- as evidenced by performance after appointment. What checks at the selection level can reduce the false positives?
The simplest approach is to add a probationary period of one year at the time of appointment. I think many govt. sector universities in Indo-Pak area already follow this approach.
The importance of reference letters needs to be emphasized. Reference letters should be detailed about the candidate's previous work experience. The university/ PG college may standardize a reference letter with a set of questions and score sheets.
