A good selection process is characterised by assessing candidates’ qualities that are related to job performance. This implies that all criteria not related to job performance are excluded from decision making. This is exactly what characterises fair testing in the selection context: not systematically disadvantaging certain groups, but instead selecting those individuals that have the qualities the job requires.
Why is fair testing important? It helps ensure that applicants from different groups have equal opportunities to be hired. Thus, the pool of potential candidates becomes bigger. Fair testing also contributes to promoting a positive image of the company in the public. This White Paper outlines how fair testing can be beneficial for organisational effectiveness by promoting diversity. Furthermore, it gives a guideline for valuing diversity and a checklist for testing in accordance with the General Equal Treatment Act.
