QUESTION: 11

Your manager has approached you regarding her desire to outsource certain functions to an external firm. She would like for you to create a document to send to three vendors asking them for solutions for these functions that your organization is to outsource. What type of a procurement document would you create and send to the vendors in this instance?

Request for Proposal
Request for Quote
Invitation for Bid
Request for Information

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A request for proposal (RFP) is a procurement document that asks the vendor to provide solutions, ideas, and detailed information about the outsourced function. The vendor will provide a proposal in response to the RFP. An RFP is often sent with a statement of work that details the outsourcing need that the vendor is to provide a solution and a price.
Answer option B is incorrect. A Request for Quote (RFQ) is a procurement document that asks the vendor to provide just a price for the solution to be purchased - no ideas or suggestions are needed from the vendor. RFQ are often used with materials, such as cost per metric ton or cost per unit. Answer option C is incorrect. An invitation for bid (IFB) is identical to the request for quote. It is a procurement document asking the vendor for a fixed price for a specific thing to be purchased. Answer option D is incorrect. A request for information (RFI) asks the vendor for more information about their solution, services, or company.
An RFI could ask for samples, references of work, white papers, and more information.

The sex of applicants is excluded from the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Answer option B is incorrect. This is not a violation of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because some jobs may have an unintended discriminatory basis. Answer option D is incorrect. The existence of a similar job for men or women does not automatically create exclusion to the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

QUESTION: 14

The JHG Company has used discriminatory hiring practices in the past but they adjusted their practices and are following federal laws now to ensure that fair hiring practices are met. However, the JHG Company has an employee referral program as a primary source to recruit new employees. What danger may the JHG Company be exposed to in this scenario?

Perpetuating past unintentional practices
Perpetuating past discrimination practices
Succumbing to an adverse impact
Not finding qualified racially diverse candidates

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This is an example of how past discriminatory practices can perpetuate themselves in the organization, by using the current pool of employees to bring new applicants. Past discriminatory practices that created the current pool of employees can cause the current pool to refer similar candidates to the company.
Answer option D is incorrect. While this choice is tempting the question doesn't reveal what the discriminatory practices were in the past. The discriminatory practices could have been race, sex, religion, or a host of other discrimination.
Answer option A is incorrect. The question doesn't reveal if the past practices were intentional or not, and the current situation could and could not be unintentional. The best answer, however, is that this scenario perpetuates past discrimination practices. Answer option C is incorrect. An adverse impact is the overall effect of a disparate action. While this answer is tempting, it's not the best choice for the question.

QUESTION: 15

You are a HR Professional for your organization and you're preparing your team for a series of interviews. You want the team to be familiar with the validity types you'll use and encourage in the series of interviews. One of the requirements in the interview process for a graphic designer is, for the graphic designer to use a software program and to create a simple brochure. This is an example of what type of validity?

Construct-related validity
Predictive validity
Criterion-related validity
Content validity

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The selection criterion for the graphic designer to use the software program and create a brochure is indicative of the type of work the graphic designer should be able to do in the job. This is an example of content validity for the applicant.
Answer option C is incorrect. Criterion-related validity is an example where performance scores achieved by current employees are based on the criterion used for the selection. For example, current employees can perform better because they can design artwork in particular software programs, so applicants must be able to use the particular software program to qualify for the position.
Answer option A is incorrect. Construct-related validity measures certain psychological tests to determine whether the applicant possesses the desired characteristics to operate successfully in the position.
Answer option B is incorrect. Predictive-validity is a confirmation of characteristics the candidate is tested for during the interview process, hold true in the actual performance of the candidate once they've been hired.
