Test Development

Developing an effective test that will both result in the best hires as well as survive close OFCCP or court-related scrutiny can be a daunting process. It requires a knowledge of psychometrics, statistics, EEO laws and regulations, and the scientifically tested techniques for measuring human abilities. Our doctoral level consultants have many years of experience in developing personnel selection tools used for jobs covering the spectrum of the US economy.

From entry level clerks to organizational leaders and from the private sector through the public and educational sectors and from small companies through multi-nationals we have the experience you need to develop a state-of-the-art test that will net you the most productive, satisfied, and effective employees.

Test Validation

Test Validity refers to the extent to which a practice, procedure, or test measures the key concepts, abilities, or skills that it is designed to measure. Validation refers to the process of building an evidence-based argument that a practice, procedure, or test is both job-related and consistent with business necessity. The stronger the evidence, the more secure a test user can be that they will be victorious if their employment decisions are shown to have adverse impact.

We seek to follow the court-endorsed federal Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures to help ensure that your tests are of the highest quality, result in the best hiring decisions, and give you maximum protection from an OFCCP audit or employment-related litigation.

If you are facing an OFCCP audit or simply want to ensure the validity of your selection processes, contact us to speak to a consultant about test validation. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
