What is the status of hiring based on profiles today?
In today s competitive corporate environment, the proper use of assessments as part of the hiring selection process can mean the difference between hiring the best people and becoming noncompetitive. Every company should do its own validation study to determine which assessment instruments are worth its continued investment. The types of instruments that employers need to be most concerned about are those that assess ability, aptitude, skills, and/or knowledge. These instruments are the most likely to have an adverse impact. Assessment instruments that assess personality traits, behavior or values, on the other hand, are least likely to have an adverse impact.
