The aim of this paper is to provide a critical analysis of the personnel selection process in Psychology. Psychology allies itself to the concepts described by Heidegger as the era of technology, holding as truths characteristics, such as reserve fund, function (utility), and productivity without limits, exposing productive capacity as fundamental to a job-seeking person. Considering this criterion as the only truth along with the capacity of the worker, other capabilities and motivations, at best, are relegated to the background. The man, so taken, shall behave like automation, a machine whose usefulness lasts as long as there is a need for its production and which is discarded when other needs overtake that. The goal is that using a phenomenological-hermeneutic sight of personnel selection, this could open up other possibilities for thinking about the man and his work and the selection process that occurs in this relationship.
