Document Summary
Screening is the first phase of selection, in which a rough cut of the larger applicant pool is undertaken. Typically, the goal is to identify and eliminate the candidates who do not meet the minimum requirements established for the position. Minimum requirements often consist of educational requirements, experience, and closely related personal attributes that are required in order for a person to have a reasonable chance of performing the target satisfactorily. Minimum requirements critically affect the entire selection process, and are often scrutinized for adverse impact against designated target groups. Accordingly, they should be systematically and carefully established. False positives: those who inappropriately pass the screening process, likely to be eliminated through more extensive testing at the selection stage. False negatives: those who have the mqs but are inappropriately eliminated - are more serious, depending on the nature of the job involved.
