Passing this first hurdle then undergo more extensive assessments. Minimum qualifications (mq): ksaoe and other attributes and competencies deemed necessary for minimally acceptable performance in one or more positions; designed for making the first cut in screening job applicants, and sometimes referred to as selection criteria. Designated targeted groups: the four groups (women, visible minorities, aboriginal people, people with disabilities) designated in the federal gov"t employment equity act that receive legal protection in employment policies and practices b/c of their underrepresentation in the workplace. Selection ratio: the proportion of applicants for one or more positions who are hired. False positives: individuals who are predicted to perform successfully in a given position (based on pre-selection assessment scores) but who do not perform at satisfactory levels.
