LMI Successments

Selection system design and validation is a primary, on-going activity at Orion Systems. The two principals of Orion Systems (both of whom are attorneys), as well as our associated professionals in the fields of psychology and statistical analysis have many years of experience in the development and validation of job-related, applicant assessment systems. All system development and validation procedures are based upon, and subscribe to, the guidelines and procedures of the American Psychological Association and the Federal Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures.

All survey items included in any BYH/Orion assessment instrument are developed, reviewed, and validated to meet the equal employment opportunity concerns of the above-mentioned Guidelines, as well as legislation such as the Americans with Disability Act, and other related requirements. All Orion assessment surveys are demonstrably valid as evidenced by the extensive validation studies we perform. This large volume of validation can be found in our Validation Manual. This detailed information manual covers the development, validation and adverse impact analysis for all BYH/Orion assessments.
