Reliable &Valid Selection? n Reliability and Validity are 2 statistical concepts which are important Reliable &Valid Selection? n Reliability and Validity are 2 statistical concepts which are important in selection n Reliability – refers to the extent to which a selection technique achieves consistency in what it is measuring over repeated use, e. g. what matters is how an individual is being measured not by who. n Validity – refers to the extent to which a selection technique actually measures what it sets out to measure. For example where the selection methods adopted have been used before, did the organisation get ‘the right’ employees? 12

The trouble with interviews n Research suggests that traditional interviews don’t appear to be The trouble with interviews n Research suggests that traditional interviews don’t appear to be reliable or valid! n ‘Pre-selection’ can take place where implicit discrimination is formed (on the grounds of gender, race, educational qualifications etc) n First impressions – and early decisions, which the interviewer may then look to support with their questioning. n Stereotyping – interviewers with little skill can quickly label individuals 13

Trouble with interviews 2 n ‘The contrast effect’ – interviewers are influenced by the Trouble with interviews 2 n ‘The contrast effect’ – interviewers are influenced by the order in which applicants are interviewed. An ‘average’ candidate following a ‘poor’ candidate can appear to be better than they are.
