- Title
Job Performance and the New Credentialism.
- Authors
Diamond, Daniel E.; Bedrosian, Hrach
- Abstract
During the last two decades employers have tended to raise hiring standards for less skilled jobs, causing a new "credentialism" to prevail in the labor market. Such a development falls most heavily on the disadvantaged job seekers. This study demonstrates the inappropriateness of the current level of hiring standards for a variety of blue and white collar jobs and calls upon employers to reassess, by scientific validation procedures, their hiring standards.
