The biggest success of industrial psychology over the last 100 years is the development of decision aids that can provide a predictive edge when making choices for selection and development of people. At the same time, industrial psychology's greatest failure has been its inability to convince organizations to stop using ineffective processes and use science and technology instead. Have you ever complained about recruiters not bringing you great candidates? Have you ever hired or promoted someone that didn't work out? This session will review what 100 years of research has uncovered and show you how to bring your hiring and promotion practices into the 21st century.
