Chapter 9 Assignment a. Develop an assessment plan that does not exceed the remaining $4,000 budget. This assessment plan should link directly to your job requirements matrix and outline how the top applicant characteristics will be assessed, how the scores on different assessments will be combined into both applicant characteristic scores, and how the different characteristic scores will be combined into an overall candidate pre- dicted job success score that will be compared across candidates to determine which two candidates to hire. You can assess all eight candidates on every assessment you choose (within your budget), or you may use a multiple hurdles approach (see Chapter 11) and use one or more assessment methods to screen out some candi- dates before spending additional money to assess the candidates who pass the early assessment round with additional measures. Only the assessment methods that you actually use to evaluate candidates count against your budget. b. Explain your proposed assessment plan in your report in language understandable to non-HR leaders of Chern's. c. Use the scoring keys you developed for the structured interviews to view and score the structured interviews. Also view the eight unstructured interviews and score them if you included them in your assessment plan. Because the unstructured inter- view questions and content differs across candidates, this is optional. The interviews are free, and do not count against your $4,000 assessment budget. d. Submit the names of the candidates you would like assessed and the names of the as- sessment methods for which you would like the scores to your instructor and receive the scores
