Complete job-related validation: Before relying on the tool, which control is decisive?
Job-specific validation is the decisive control; overall accuracy does not establish job relatedness.
The question
A U.S. employer is evaluating an AI screening tool for covered employment selection. The vendor reports strong overall prediction, but the employer lacks a job analysis and evidence connecting the features to the actual role; group differences remain inconclusive. Before relying on the tool, which control is decisive?

- Obtain a broader vendor accuracy report for the model.General accuracy evidence does not establish that the tool measures requirements of this specific position.
- Deploy under monitoring while developing the missing job analysis.Monitoring may detect later problems but does not supply the missing evidence connecting the procedure to the job before use.
- Complete job-related validation. ✓The employer needs evidence connecting the selection procedure to the requirements of the particular job before relying on it.
- Switch temporarily to unstructured recruiter judgment while the evidence is assembled.Unstructured human judgment does not itself demonstrate a job-related or appropriately supported selection procedure.
The trap
Do not equate overall accuracy with evidence that a selection procedure is job related. How to remember it
Job-specific validation is the decisive control; overall accuracy does not establish job relatedness.
