Why we write about this
Assessment decisions affect careers. The bar for evidence is high.
Grounded in professional standards.
These guides draw on the SIOP Principles, EEOC Uniform Guidelines, and the APA/AERA/NCME Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing — the bodies of work that define professional practice in employment assessment.
No fabricated statistics.
We do not invent percentages or cite studies we cannot verify. Where research supports a qualitative claim, we name the source. Where a number would require a specific study, we speak in terms of the established direction of evidence.
India-specific context.
Much of the published research on hiring comes from US or European contexts. Where the Indian hiring market — campus drives, tier-2 and tier-3 college pipelines, lateral-hire volume, remote work norms — changes the picture, we say so.
Practical, not academic.
Each guide ends with concrete steps a talent team or HR manager can apply — not a literature review. The goal is a hiring process that is fairer, faster, and more defensible.
