Another noncompensatory method is called a multiple hurdle approach. In this approach, cutoffs are arranged sequentially. The fist cutoff is applied to the entire applicant pool Those applicants who fail to meet or exceed the cutoff are rejected. The remaining applicants ane then subjected to the next cutoff, where more applicants will be rejected. This process reduces the applicant pool at each hurdle. At the final hurdle, only a select few will remain

Organizations usually set cutoffs that are less costly and more objective as the initial hurdles. More subjective and often more time$-$consuming assessments are set at the end of the selection process. The multiple hurdle approach saves organizations money because not all of the applicants are assessed on all of the factors. This approach, however, can be time consuming because each cutoff nust be applied and then evaluated before moving to the next cutoff.

Reflect on your cutoffs and arrange them in the table below to establich your own multiple hurdle system.

Multiple hurdle system

$\backslash$table$[[,$Rejected applicant$],[$Hurdle $1$: Education,None, all applicants have at least high school diploma or GED.$],[$Hurdle $2$:$,],[$Hurdle $3$:$,],[$Hurdle $4$:$,],[$Hurdle $5$:$,],[$Hurdle $6$:$,]]$

At the end of hurdle $6,$ which applicant$(3)$ remained?

What would you recommend if you had no remaining applicants or seversl applicants remaining?

Do you prefer this method over the multiple cutoff method? Why or why not?
