Type 1 and Type 2 Errors: an Application from HR Hiring

From the perspective of the HR hiring process, type I error entails accepting an applicant

for a job position who ought to be rejected during the recruitment process. This error leads to

wrong signals and warnings, which are inexistent, thus leading to poor decision-making (Noe et

al., 2015). It is also referred to as a false positive error. Type II error, on the other hand, entails

the act of rejecting the applicant who is most suited for the job and thus should have been

considered for the job offer (Moffa, 2011). This error leads to the failure to give a warning about

uncertainties and may lead to a false negative error of judgments because crucial information

about the prevailing situation is not provided.

Type I and Type II Decision Error Costs

It is costly to commit type I error because accepting the wrong staff and rejecting the

right staff leads to a false positive, which results in disastrous waves in the productivity of the

employee (Noe et al., 2015). The staff will not be able to deliver to the expectation of the

organization and may sometimes give false outcomes and signals, which may mislead the

organization to make a false decision (Moffa, 2011). Type 2 error is costly because it leads to a

false positive signal where the employee deliberately fails to caution the organization about a

disastrous event or organizational challenges that exist.

The decision error that is more likely to be discovered by the management is the type I

error because it is more costly than type II error. This difference it the costs of the two types of

errors affect the HR manager's hiring decisions by completing it to consider all the instances of

the hiring process to ascertain the probabilities underlying the decision-making process on a

case-by-case basis to minimize the costs of making either error (Moffa, 2011).
