Benchmark Studies (criterion-related validation research)

The idea behind this type of study is creating ideal applicant‘s profile on a basis of statistical analysis of the data of best employees and least successful ones on a given job position.

Steps of the project:

• Identify a large sample of current incumbents
• Administer the assessments to the incumbent sample
• Collect performance data on these individuals
• Examine the relationship between incumbent assessment results and job performance
• Determine which data from the psychological test (scales) best predict the job performance.

The benchmark studies are most suitable for organizations with:

• A large number of incumbents in a specific job or job family
• A high-volume candidate selection needs
• A well-defined performance appraisal.

Benefits:

• Establish that the assessments predict performance in the organization's unique environment
• Demonstrating ROI of the selection process       
• Demonstrated relationship between the selection method and the level of performance.
