Assessments And OFCC Compliance

Employers that must be OFCCP compliant are required to adopt hiring practices that do not discriminate on grounds of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Any employer, but especially those required to be compliant, should implement selection procedures that reduce to the greatest extent possible any likelihood of bias in employment decisions.

One solution available to employers to limit the introduction of bias in the selection process is a valid pre-employment testing program. Pre-employment testing can help employers improve overall operations performance by identify applicants that have the mental abilities and personality traits needed to successfully perform a job. An additional benefit is that well designed pre-employment tests that are properly validated can help employers avoid instances of disparate impact that often result in costly OFCCP audits and expensive fines.
