Objective Criteria and Validation of Hiring Tools
This lesson focuses on building objective hiring criteria, validating tools for fairness, and maintaining thorough documentation.

Competency-Based Selection

Develop a competency model that describes the tasks, behaviors, and outcomes essential for the role. Use this model to guide interviews, assessments, and selection decisions.

Tool Validation

Regularly test that interview questions, assessments, and scoring methods predict job performance. Use data to refine tools and reduce adverse impact on protected groups.

Documentation and Defensibility

Document the process: job analysis, criteria definitions, scoring rationales, and final decisions. Clear records support legal defensibility and transparency.

Continuous Improvement

Periodically review outcomes, adjust criteria as roles evolve, and train teams on fair, bias-aware practices.
