Rollerbeam's HR team is performing content validation, which involves ensuring that the test scenarios are relevant and representative of the skills and knowledge required for the job. This type of validation is based on a thorough analysis of the job duties and can be used to develop new tests or evaluate existing ones. The other types of validation listed (concurrent, predictive, criterion-related, and subjective) involve comparing test results to some external criteria, such as job performance or other measures of success.
