Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) Performance evaluation ratings may be helpful in predicting the performance of job applicants. For example, it may be determined that a firm's successful employees (identified through performance evaluations) exhibit certain behaviors when performing key tasks. These data may then provide benchmarks for evaluating applicant responses obtained through behavioral interviews. PAs are helpful for assessing training needs of current employees rather than of applicants.
