Testing and selection should be built on a firm foundation
To be defensible and effective, selection plans need to be based upon good data. TestGenius subscriptions come with tools that support HR best practices, such as our AutoGOJA® Job Analysis program and our Disparate Impact Calculator.
A sound selection plan begins with a current, properly conducted job analysis. AutoGOJA® simplifies data collection, helping you build a stronger foundation for selection and test validation. Proper cutoff-score setting then helps minimize adverse impact and support a fairer, more defensible hiring process.

AutoGOJA® job analysis overview
The Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (UGESP) establish that a sound selection plan should be based on a properly conducted job analysis. AutoGOJA®, short for Guidelines Oriented Job Analysis, guides organizations through that process step by step.
Survey tools collect input from subject matter experts and supervisors on knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs), personal characteristics, working conditions, and other job requirements. Participants rate factors such as importance, frequency, and criticality to help identify essential job functions and establish minimum and desirable qualifications. AutoGOJA® is included with a TestGenius subscription.
Adverse impact analysis with the Disparate Impact Calculator
In higher-stakes testing or situations where litigation risk is a concern, organizations may need to evaluate whether a test administration creates adverse impact for protected groups.
The Disparate Impact Calculator helps HR teams evaluate adverse impact across up to three passing scores or cutoff points. Results include the 80% Test, Stat. Test-Exact, and Stat. Test-Estimated, along with interpretations for each cutoff score. The Disparate Impact Calculator is included with a TestGenius subscription.
