Abstract
ABSTRACT The Critical Hire-Screen (CH-S) is a pre-employment, overt integrity test developed for law enforcement and correctional officer applicants. This article examined the CH-S’s criterion validity by exploring the degree to which the CH-S predicted job performance ratings. Results revealed that CH-S scores significantly correlated with and adequately predicted supervisor ratings of job performance with a sample of correctional officers. Multiple, empirically derived, cut scores are presented in this paper to provide practical utility of these findings to hiring agencies.
