Abstract
Sackett, Zhang, Berry, and Lievens (2023) are to be commended for correcting the validity estimates of widely used predictors, many of which turned out to have less validity than prior studies led us to believe. Yet, we should recognize that psychologists and their clients were misled for many years about the utility of some mainstream assessments and selection system design surely suffered. Although Sackett et al. (2023) offered useful recommendations for researchers, they never really addressed selection system design from a practitioner perspective. This response aims to address that omission, emphasizing a multidimensional approach to design science (Casillas et al., 2019).
