Document Summary

Steps of employee selection: screen applicants and resumes, test and review work examples, check references and background, make a selection. Criteria for evaluating selection methods: reliability, validity, ability to generalise, practical value. Reliability consistency of the results we measure, reliable over time. Validity is the measure related to what the measure what you are trying to assess. The length of your toenails does not determine your intelligence: construct validity a construct is something theoretical and abstract in nature (what is intelligence/leadership). People tested should feel motivated to do it, and stuff covered to on the test should be relevant. Lecture 3 notes: ability to generalise valid in other contexts in which the selection method was developed, utility extent to which the selection method produces economic value greater than its cost. Does benefit the organisation more than it costs. Legal standards does it infringe upon any prohibited grounds, gather information not about the job not about unrelated stuff.
