Various means of supporting the use of selection procedures will be briefly summarized. The preponderance of the evidence on validity comes from criterion-related validation studies conducted over the last century primarily in the U.S. and Europe and very usefully summarized in meta-analyses. These meta-analyses indicate that measures of many constructs have practically meaningful implications for organizations and individuals. We also discuss the limitations of the primary data base that is the basis of these meta-analyses and propose a collaborative longitudinal data collection effort that would involve multiple organizations in various countries to address these limitations.
