It should be 经千挑万选 or 经过千挑万选.

Excellent job from Kenny; however, "carefully planned selection process" doesn't sound quite right to me. I don't believe a native speaker would use "carefully planned" to modify "selection process" as carefully planned stresses the preparation behind an event or tour, etc. A selection process (to me) is something that has multiple rounds with each round possibly increasing in difficulty. How about "rigorous" to express the meaning of considerable effort from the company and the difficulty of the selection process for employees? perhaps "...have undergone a rigorous selection process" would convey the Chinese meaning better and appear more natural in English?
