Multiple hurdle models are designed to reduce the number of false positive errors by setting up multiple stages or “hurdles” that candidates must pass before being selected. This reduces the risk of selecting someone who is not actually suitable for the position, which could have serious consequences in high-risk industries such as healthcare or aviation. Compensatory models, on the other hand, allow candidates to compensate for weaknesses in one area by excelling in another, which can increase the risk of false positives. Discretionary models may not be sufficient to mitigate the risk of false positives in high-risk industries, as judgment calls may be subjective and open to interpretation.
