which statement best describes the multiple-hurdle model of personnel selection?
multiple choice
it is a process of selecting employees in which a very high score on one type of assessment can make up for a low score on another
it is a process of arriving at a selection decision by eliminating some candidates at each stage of the selection process
it is a selection process in which several members of an organization form a panel and interview each candidate
it is a testing program that establishes different norms for hiring members of different racial groups.
it is a selection process that treats a range of scores as being similar and divides candidates into groups based on the range their scores fall into

Explanation:

The multiple-hurdle model of personnel selection is a sequential process where candidates must pass each stage (hurdle) to move forward; those who fail any stage are eliminated immediately. This matches the description of eliminating candidates at each selection stage.

• The first option describes a compensatory model, not multiple-hurdle.
• The third option refers to a panel interview process.
• The fourth option describes discriminatory, non-standardized testing, which is unethical and not the multiple-hurdle model.
• The fifth option describes a banding approach to selection.

Answer:

It is a process of arriving at a selection decision by eliminating some candidates at each stage of the selection process.
