SYNTHETIC VALIDITY
Synthetic Validity is the "Holy Grail" of Human Resources. Finding the right job, or the right person to fill a job is a difficult process, after all, how can you tell from a resume and a couple of interviews that the employee/employer relationship is a good fit? Piers Steel from the U of C Haskayne School of Business has been researching a technique that seems to guarantee success and he was here to tell us about it.
