Applicant testing: ethical dilemmas frequently occur during the testing of job applicants with various selection tools
Employment interview: subject to the same set of regulations as any other employment test and must meet professional standards when used in making high-stakes decisions

(Continued on the next slide.)

Should you use this system or try to find another that does not screen out so many members of visible-minority groups?
What if the new system does not do as good a job at selecting the best workers?
