Unproductive and unqualified working increases the labor costs and decreases the competitiveness. Companies can improve their competitiveness by organizing a training department and selecting relevant workers and training them with a suitable training program.

The relations among the results of aptitude, pin board and shape tests were evaluated with SPSS program. The effects of mostly considered recruitment factors, such as age, sex, education, on personnel selection tests and the results of training programs were examined.
