False positives: Applicants who are predicted to be successful and are hired but who ultimately fail
False negatives: Applicants who are predicted to fail and are not hired but who would have been successful if hired

Reliability and validity
Reliability: Consistency of a particular selection device - it measures whatever it is supposed to be measured without random error
Validity: Scores on a test are related to performance on a job
Criterion-related validity: Extent to which a selection technique accurately predicts elements of performance

13. Legal and Effectiveness Issues in Recruiting and Selection
