Question

Selection ratio
Adverse Impact
alternative staffing methods
Workforce planning

Answer 1

This is an example of alternative staffing methods. Alternative staffing methods refer to the use of non-traditional or unconventional criteria in the hiring process, which may not directly relate to the core functions of the job. In this case, Ted is considering a candidate's ability to stand for up to 6 hours as a requirement, even though it is not a core function of the job.
