Assessment is the one area of talent acquisition practice where we have proper peer-reviewed science about what is and isn’t effective. Unfortunately, the use of science in assessment has tended to only happen in larger organizations and then not necessarily consistently.
AI has the potential to change everything, making assessment technology faster and more accessible to employers of all sizes. However, there are huge dangers here. Not only does AI bring with it the potential for more bias in the process, things are moving so quickly that it may well be that some tech solutions coming into the market are built without due consideration of the fundamental principles of science and psychology that should be applied to assessment.
So, what steps can TA Leaders take to ensure their technology is fit for purpose and embed a more strategic approach to assessment?
