Understanding adverse impact featured image

Building a diverse and inclusive workplace starts with fair hiring practices. While policies may be created with the best intentions, they can occasionally lead to unintended bias, known as adverse impact. This is what occurs when certain groups are unintentionally disadvantaged in the hiring process.  By understanding how adverse impact happens, how it differs from intentional discrimination, and how to monitor and adjust for it, you can continuously improve fairness in your hiring process. In

HR professionals often face the challenge of hiring for diverse roles, many of which they might not be intimately familiar with. In a week, you might have ongoing processes for a software engineer, a marketing coordinator, and a graphic designer. It can be difficult to know, understand, and apply criteria and standards that are a) role-specific and suited to your organization and b) broad enough to have universal relevance. That’s where TestGorilla assessments step in, helping you evaluate both

Skills assessments are a valuable method for evaluating candidates' skills, traits, and abilities prior to making hiring decisions. However, it's important to ensure that the tools you use are precise, accurate, and valid.  Test validity is a complex concept that encompasses different areas like criterion validity, construct validity, and content validity. Content validity is a type of validity that helps you determine whether your tests adequately cover the relevant knowledge and skills you aim

Understanding gender Differential Item Functioning (DIF) in test analysis graphic

Gender bias is everywhere. At TestGorilla, we recognize that removing barriers for women within the labor market is vital if we want to create a fairer world. But what does that mean in the context of pre-employment testing, and what are we doing to ensure our tests don’t discriminate against gender? This blog post explores the concept of Differential Item Functioning (DIF) and its role in ensuring fairness in testing. We will also discuss the results of DIF analysis of TestGorilla tests and how

Cognitive ability tests are a great tool for identifying top candidates when used appropriately. However, while they certainly are popular and useful, tests of cognitive abilities should be used carefully. Using these tests haphazardly can potentially create unfair disadvantages or biases toward some groups, meaning you may overlook high-quality candidates or open your organization to legal risk.  This blog will walk you through some best practices, based on the latest scientific insights,  for

Skills tests are an excellent way to measure candidates’ skills and traits before hiring them. However, you need to ensure that the tools you use are accurate. Construct validity is one type of validity that helps you determine if your tests are measuring what you intend them to measure. In this article, we examine the construct validity definition, explore construct validity examples, discuss how TestGorilla evaluates the construct validity of our tests, and explain the importance of using vali

Without effective cutoff testing, hiring managers often struggle to filter candidates. As a result, you might recruit unqualified applicants or overlook top talent, which wastes time and resources. Whether you are looking for a business operation manager, DevOps engineer, or marketing specialist, skills tests with appropriate cutoff scores can significantly improve the quality of your hires. Let’s see what a cutoff score is and what factors you should consider before setting one when recruiting 

What is a cutoff score in skill testing, and how do you set it correctly?

When using any hiring tool—be it internally developed structured interviews or TestGorilla’s pre-employment tests—one of the most significant challenges organizations face is figuring out how scores obtained on these hiring tools ultimately translate into job success. For example, we often get the question, “What scores are associated with high performance?” or “How do I know what’s a ‘good’ score?” In this blog, we’ll explore some strategies and techniques that will help you interpret test scor
