The use of web-based, at-home applicant assessment is not just on the rise, it is the new norm. In fact, many clients will not even consider tests that do not offer at-home options, because at-home testing provides a faster, more convenient, and more cost-effective process. Ultimately, the question remains: is at-home testing still a valid predictor of valuable outcomes like turnover and job performance? In this session, we will explore the true meaning of test validity, and how the validity of a test is determined. Additionally, we will discuss recent research conducted by the DeGarmo Group regarding the validity of pre-employment assessments administered exclusively at-home.

Talent Acquisition professionals go to great lengths to understand and articulate how to identify and ensure their organization has quality leaders. Doing this well requires a strong theory of leadership as a “backbone” to assist in identifying individuals with leadership potential. This session articulates Transformational Leadership (TL) as one such theory and highlights how this pivotal understanding of leadership can be leveraged to identify leadership potential within the talent acquisition process. By establishing an understanding of TL we can map TL onto personality and work values. Leveraging this mapping process we can, in turn, identify leadership potential via the use of assessment technology!
