Document Summary
Employer"s goal is to hire applicants who have ksaos (knowledge, skills, abilities or other attributes) Correct guesses by employers has positive benefits on the company. Bad guesses not only affect productivity and profitability of the company, but has consequences for poorly hiring an employee. Every employer who hires, follows a hiring process and in many cases its informal. Applicants submit resumes and after screening, few are interviewed. Unfortunately the employer"s decision or guess reveals more about biases than if the candidate meets the requirements. Hiring decisions must be defensible and meet legal requirements as well as standards of reliability and validity.
