What legal weight do profiles have in hiring practices?
Assessment profiles do not have controlling force in hiring. What the U.S. Congress has specifically forbidden is giving these devices and mechanisms controlling force unless they are demonstrably a reasonable measure of job performance. Far from disparaging job qualifications as such, Congress has made such qualifications the controlling factor so that race, religion, nationality, and sex become irrelevant. What Congress has commanded is that any test used must measure the person for the job and not the person in the abstract.
