Question

Alayna is applying for a job as a computer technician. Although she receives a relatively low score on a cognitive ability test, she is selected for the job based on her high scores on both a job knowledge test and a structured interview. The approach that was most likely used in this case is a __________ system.

Answer 1

Answer:

Compensatory Scoring

Explanation:

• There are different ways of selecting candidates to choose the best for that position and one of the selection process is called compensation scoring.
• Comparative scoring is used for the candidate (s) who fail more than what fails him. For example, if a candidate evaluates three different tests and the candidate fails one of the three and pass the remaining two tests.
• If the selectors still select such a candidate for the role, that means the candidate is selected based on compensation scoring.
