Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a multiple hurdle selection model, applicants must pass each stage of the process before moving on to the next stage. This is different from a multiple cutoff model, where applicants are directly eliminated if they do not meet a certain score on any part of the process. Compensatory models allow for some parts of the selection process to make up for deficiencies in others, while contingency models involve changing the selection process based on specific circumstances.
