What You Can Do

Build empirically validated competency frameworks and selection assessments grounded in structured job analysis and industrial-organizational psychology principles. Create assessment blueprints with criterion-related validity evidence, competency models aligned to business strategy, and comprehensive documentation that withstands legal scrutiny. Generate adverse impact analyses and reliability metrics to ensure your selection systems are both defensible and fair.

Features

Structured Job Analysis

Conduct systematic job analysis using critical incident technique, task analysis, and competency modeling to identify knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) essential for job performance.

Competency Framework Builder

Develop multi-level competency frameworks with behavioral anchors, proficiency levels, and performance indicators tailored to your organization's business strategy and culture.

Assessment Design & Blueprinting

Create detailed assessment blueprints specifying content domains, item types, scoring rubrics, and test specifications aligned with identified competencies and legal requirements.

Validity Evidence Generation

Produce comprehensive validity evidence including job-relatedness studies, criterion-related validity documentation, content validity matrices, and construct alignment reports.

Adverse Impact Analysis

Calculate impact ratios, four-fifths rule compliance, and disparate impact statistics to ensure selection systems meet regulatory standards and minimize legal risk.

Reliability & Consistency Metrics

Calculate internal consistency estimates, inter-rater reliability coefficients, and test-retest reliability to demonstrate assessment precision and consistency.

Item Analysis & Refinement

Analyze item difficulty, discrimination indices, and distractor effectiveness to optimize assessment items and improve predictive validity.

Legal Compliance Documentation

Generate detailed reports addressing EEOC guidelines, ADA requirements, state-specific regulations, and Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures.
