- Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) involves objects that communicate with other objects via sensors through the Internet. Objects can be human, clothing, light fixtures, machinery, walls etc. IoT can be used to provide data for employment tests regarding recruiting, hiring, performance appraisal, training, and other human resource-related factors. The Uniform Guidelines of Selection Procedures (Uniform Guidelines) provides a basis for analyzing IoT-related employment tests through its validity, reliability, and adverse impact recommendations. Some validity issues involve an IoT bias for objective testing, unintended results from collecting massive data sets, and insufficient analysis by sensor vendors. An employee's time at a desk might be irrelevant compared to time communicating with clients. Some reliability issues with IoT sensors include faulty equipment, changing sensor conditions, employee-related problems, and faulty analysis of data. Adverse impact focuses on the unequal use of sensors with employees from different protected groups. This study describes IoT related problems that include validity, reliability, and adverse impact on employment testing as discussed in the uniform guidelines. To remedy these problems, this study provides some IoT-related monitoring recommendations.
