Ratings of Training and Experience:: Evaluating Accomplishments Not Credentials

Abstract

The behavioural consistency approach, a new procedure for evaluating the training and experience of job candidates, produces candidate ratings that are considerably more reliable than those based on traditional measures of training and experience. The initiation of the project and the role of the industrial psychologist involved is discussed, the principles of the approach are outlined and the construction and use of a behavioural consistency rating scale are described.
