1. Leads small to medium scope selection and assessment development and validation projects. Develops, validates, and maintains selection and other assessment systems, tools, processes, and procedures including for employment and training purposes. Conducts content analysis and needs assessments to identify examination and assessment requirements and to ensure validity, reliability, and defensibility of the selection and learning instruments.
2. Leads meetings with stakeholders to discuss selection and assessment system, tools, and/or process needs. Develops project plans to include determining resource needs, timelines, and budget requirements. Identifies job, training, and/or development requirements using psychometric principles and methods to develop valid examinations and assessments measuring applicant and employee knowledge, skills, and abilities.
3. Develops, validates, and deploys selection and evaluation tools and systems of larger scope, impact, content, and complexity. Ensures development and validation methods, processes, and procedures used align with professional standards, legal guidelines, and internal requirements. Applies testing theories such as item response theory and classical test theory to develop, analyze, and calibrate reliable, valid, predictive, and legally defensible assessment systems, tools, and processes.
4. Compiles and analyzes data to investigate the psychometrics properties of assessments and related tools, and to gain insights into the characteristics elements of the sample being measured. Conducts technical and complex data analyses (e.g., Factor Analysis, MANOVA/MANCOVA, Multiple Regression) to develop, support, and improve selection, assessment and related tools using statistical analysis software (e.g., SPSS, SAS, R).
5. Serves as a technical resource (liaison) to the function and organization on selection and assessment-related topics. Consults with internal stakeholders to identify, address, or resolve problems with selection/evaluation systems. Collaborates with team members to implement personnel selection evaluation systems.
6. Researches current trends and changes in professional standards regarding selection and evaluation methodologies; develops recommendations to advance selection/evaluation programs and procedures.
7. Develops and presents technical reports and presentations summarizing results of projects (e.g., job analyses, validation studies, competency models) to technical and non-technical audiences.
