Many organizations use multiple tests or assessments in their selection plan. There are essentially two approaches to evaluating candidates using multiple assessments: the multiple hurdle approach and a compensatory model.
First, passing or “cut” scores need to be set for each test or assessment. These can be set high or low, depending on whether you would rather hire:
· More people who are less qualified – with a cut score of 60% or higher, most people will probably pass the test.
· Fewer people who are more qualified – with a cut score of 90% or higher, few people will probably pass the test.
· Alpha or Beta errors are also a factor…remember last module’s Discussion Question?
In a multiple hurdle approach, candidates are “knocked out” of the selection process after every given step.
In a compensatory model, candidates are allowed to take all of the tests, either simultaneously or in order.
Question# When and why you would choose to use a multiple hurdle approach or a compensatory model. Thus, explaining how they can be combined.
