Creation and Use of Custom Benchmarks


Concurrent validation has continually been the chosen method of validation with Candidate Resources through its job study approach. In this particular procedure, employers choose people who are successful within a job and those successful employees, in turn, complete Candidate Resources' job description in order to identify what scores specifically relate to "critical" or important job duties, as in the requirement of the individual in the job to communicate frequently and consistently in person or on the phone with others.

Through the employer's process of choosing the people who are performing satisfactorily within a job, and having those successful people in that job complete the assessment questions, studies are compiled to determine what particular personality traits and levels thereof correlate directly to job performance. This then links the particular trait to the projected peformance on the job, based on the historical past of people who are performing the job.
