Declining American competitiveness in world economic markets has renewed interest in employment testing as a way of putting the right workers in the right jobs. A new study of the U.S. Department of Labor's General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) Referral System sheds light on key questions for America's employers: How well does the GATB predict job success? Are there scientific justifications for adjusting minority test scores? Will increased use of the GATB result in substantial increases in productivity? Fairness in Employment Testing evaluates both the validity generalization techniques used to justify the use of the GATB across the spectrum of U.S. jobs and the policy of adjusting test scores to promote equal opportunity.

The intention of the manual is to provide an updated reference source for personnel professionals who want guidance on the legal implications and methodology of applied research as it relates to employment and hiring practices. Several steps are taken in personnel employment: 1) the position requirements and needed skills are determined; 2) a search is conducted within and outside the organization through position advertisement and recruitment procedures; 3) job applicants are assessed through application procedures, personal interviews, and tests; 4) the selected employee is notified, enrolled in benefit programs, and oriented to job and organization policies. Special attention must be given to laws relating to personnel selection. Employers should be aware of legislation that protects against discrimination for minorities, older persons, women, veterans, and handicapped persons. Personnel and employment interviewers must be unbiased with skills in interviewing, counseling, testing, and clerical perception.
