Increasing systematicity leads to better selection decisions: Evidence from a computer paradigm for evaluating selection tools.

ABSTRACT: A computerized paradigm was created to allow for testing in the laboratory whether increasing systematicity helps the recruiter make better selection decisions. Participants were introduced to the job and the applicants on the computer screen and asked to select who they thought should be considered for the job and who should not.
