1. Benefits of HR Forecasting1. Benefits of HR Forecasting
1. Prevent understaffing and disruption to operations.
2. Prevent overstaffing and subsequent costs of employee layoff.
3. Allow efficient and effective use of other HR functions, such as:
• Provide lead time to optimize recruiting.
• Provide larger applicant pools to achieve optimal selection ratio.
• Provide optimal number of new hires for training programs.
• Prevent wage inflation resulting from crisis hiring.

Selection Ratio
The percentage of applicants who are offered a job.
The smaller the selection ratio, the higher the selection “hit rate” –
i.e., the percent of those hired who turn out to be acceptable
employees.

2. Demand Forecasting2. Demand Forecasting
A. Judgmental Forecasting
Conducting surveys of operating managers to estimate the number of employees needed to support current and future operations. Best for small and medium sized organizations.
B. B. Mathematical ForecastingMathematical Forecasting
1. Productivity Ratio
Average Sales in Past Five Years ($500,000) ÷ Average Number of Operational Employees (200) = $2,500 Sales per Employee
2. Staffing Ratio
Average Number of Operational Employees (200) ÷ Average Number of Support Employees (40) = 5 to 1 (Five operational employees to each support (i.e., staff) employee.)
Therefore, if 220 Operational Employees are needed, 220 ÷ 5 = 44 Support Employees will be required.

1. Purposes of Recruiting
1. Attract a sufficient number of applicants to allow an optimal selection ratio.
2. Aid in meeting EEO and diversity goals.
3. Maintain goodwill and positive image of the company.

2. Filling Vacancies from Within
Pros Familiarity may
increase selection accuracy.
Employee motivation to perform well and develop skills.
Quicker and lower staffing costs.
Lower training and adjustment costs.
Cons• Current employees
may not be prepared.
• May lead to a “ripple effect”, which increases staffing costs.
• May lower the influx of new ideas and innovation.
• May hinder diversity goals.

Pros Larger number of

Cons• Increases staffing

adjustment costs.• Takes longer to fill
vacancies.• May lower employee
motivation to perform well and develop skills.

3. Realistic Job Preview (RJP)3. Realistic Job Preview (RJP)
Recruiting studies have indicated that the more realistic and complete the information provided to applicants, the more likely those hired will be satisfied, acclimated, and feel less stress - leading to better performance, reduced absences, and lower job turnover.
3. Realistic Job Preview (RJP)3. Realistic Job Preview (RJP)
Reasons RJP is Beneficial
Employees make better self-selection (i.e., “fit”) decisions because they have complete and relevant information.
Employees are more committed to their decision because they accepted the job based on relevant facts.
Employees have more realistic expectations about the job and organizational culture, which increases post-hire
satisfaction.
Employees have better coping ability because they have been informed of both positive and negative aspects of the
job and organization.

2. Types of Selection Methods a. What it assesses b. Typical reliability c. Typical validity
1a. Measurement Reliability
Consistency with which an instrument assesses the knowledge, skills, or abilities intended.
o Test-Retest: Sample of people tested at two different points in time.
o Parallel Forms: Sample of people tested with two forms of the same instrument.
1a. Measurement Reliability
1b. Measurement Validity1b. Measurement Validity
Validity is the extent to which a measurement instrument (test, interview, etc.) assesses the
psychological or physical property (i.e., knowledge, skill, or ability) that it purports
to measure.
Types of Validity Evidence 1. Construct 2. Content 3. Criterion (i.e., empirical)
1b. Measurement Validity
1. Construct Validity Evidence
Demonstrating through theoretical and research evidence that a particular psychological or physical trait exists apart from other known traits and can be accurately measured.
Federal courts have allowed this kind of evidence, called validity generalization, when employers could not conduct their own empirical studies due to inadequate employee samples.
2. Content Validity Evidence
Demonstrating that a particular selection method covers (i.e., measures) certain KSAs that have been identified through Job Analysis. This is judgmental evidence and is accepted by the EEOC for validating direct measures of job knowledge or skill – but not abilities, which are considered psychological constructs.
KSAs
Selection Method
3. Criterion Validity Evidence
Requires the employer to conduct an empirical study to demonstrate a statistical correlation between applicant scores on the selection method (x) and scores on subsequent job performance (y).
Two types of empirical evidence: Concurrent and Predictive.
1c. Hit Rate Analysis
Hit Rate = Percentage of persons hired who turn out to be
acceptable job performers.
Hit Rate is determined by:• Base Rate Percentage of persons in the applicant sample
who would be acceptable performers if hired randomly – i.e., not screened in any way.
• Selection Ratio Percentage of applicants who are hired from the total applicant sample.
• Selection Validity How accurate the selection method is in predicting which applicants will be good job performers.

1d. Utility Analysis
The annual monetary utility of a selection method is equal to:
U = [N*T*V*SDy*Zx] – [N*C]
N is number hired each year.
T is average tenure.
V is validity of the method.
SDy is standard deviation in job performance in dollar terms.
Zx is the cut-off score on the selection method expressed in standard deviation units.
1d. Selection Utility Analysis
The annual monetary value of a selection method is equal to the following:
