No More Bad Hires: Pre-hire Assessments and Their Role in Fair and Predictable Hiring
Eliminating uncertainty from the hiring process has been a top priority for organizations since time immemorial. A perennial tactic for accomplishing this has been pre-hire assessments. With the increase of AI in hiring and pre-hire assessments, how can talent acquisition professionals ensure that pre-hire assessments are job-related (valid) and fair (unbiased).
Join us for a free webinar on Wednesday, May 11 at 11am PT / 2pm ET, as Dr. Fred Rafilson hosts a panel discussion with Dr. Josh Allen and Josh Cotton, Ph.D. Our panelists will explore how HR and TA leaders can effectively and fairly execute job analysis and assessments, to evaluate and measure the skills, abilities, and traits required for on-the-job success.
Important areas of discussion will include:
- Administering evaluations for target roles
- Understanding the role of AI in assessments and hiring
- Establishing test validity in relation to the EEOC, especially in the areas of content, construct, and criterion-related validity evidence
- Ensuring test fairness and mitigating adverse impact
