The aim of this study is to analyze the degree of use of different selection instrument in small and medium size Spanish companies (PYMES). The findings show that the CV, references, and unstructured interviews are used by the majority of both medium and small companies. These instruments are not the best in terms of psychometric properties. The results also indicate that other instruments with good to excellent psychometric properties such as tests of cognitive abilities, personality measures, structured interviews, and professional tests are used in an increasing number of companies. The implications these findings have for practice and suggestions for future research are discussed.
