Doctoral Research Request

A doctoral student at the University of Maryland has requested your assistance.





A doctoral student at the University of Maryland is conducting research motivators of ratings of job candidates. Specifically, the more knowledge we have about what affects job candidate ratings, the better we can train interviewers to hire the most qualified candidates. Thus, participants are needed for a study designed to assess how interview candidates for an entry-level firefighting position are rated. As part of this study, you will be asked to act as an interview assessor for six candidates for an entry-level firefighting position. The study is fully online, and should take 40 minutes to an hour to complete. If you are interested in volunteering to participate, please contact InterviewAssessment@gmail.com for more information.

If you can, please take the time to help our student with serious replies to the request. I took the time to contact the student and was openly ensured that this is a very detailed study regarding firefighter candidates. We hope to provide you with the results of the survey when they become available.
It will certainly be a topic worth reading.
