Frequently, off-the-shelf tests are the best and most cost-effective solutions. However, for some jobs, new tests should be tailored or developed to best measure the characteristics and abilities needed.

What we do for those special jobs...

• Analyze your jobs to define critical abilities, competencies and personal characteristics
• Advise you about test validity and fairness issues
• Help you decide among off-the-shelf or custom solutions
• Tailor or modify existing tests or develop new tests
• Formally validate tests for your jobs

Many jobs are unique, many clients are unique, many job environments are unique. Off-the-shelf tests or tests designed for other jobs or other situations may not be the best for your job.

In other cases, an existing test may be appropriate, but its use may require justification with a formal validation study.

The need for a validation study increases if the test may have adverse impact on a protected group or if you have a large company with many people in the job.
