Appropriateness of the inferences made based on scores of selection techniques. E. g. if we predict good interview = good job performance. Validity is concerned with the evidence that supports this prediction. To what extent does our selection process work to relate to good job. Various types of validity - we"ll focus on. The extent to which a performance measure assess all the relevant - and only the relevant - aspects of job performance. Focuses more on validity as a measure of job performance rather than the validity of selection measures/tools.
