This manual is for PSY FPX 6710 Assessment 2, start to submission. The Proposal for Conducting Candidate Screens asks you to propose how an organization should screen candidates for a specific role, often in your own workplace: recommend selection methods such as standardized tests and structured interviews, explain how the tests differ and what each measures, and address ethical and legal considerations in testing. The grade turns on methods matched to the job and supported by evidence of validity. A proposal tied to the role's requirements scores above a list of popular tools. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as PSY-FPX6710, and some courserooms print PSY6710; both point to this same Assessment 2. In current courserooms this assessment typically appears as "Proposal for Conducting Candidate Screens".
One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.
How PSY FPX 6710 Assessment 2 is scored
FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:
| Level | What it means on a candidate screening proposal |
|---|---|
| Distinguished | The candidate screening proposal is specific to the organization or case, applies course concepts accurately with credible sources, and ends in justified conclusions or recommendations. |
| Proficient | The candidate screening proposal is accurate, but the application or recommendations are general. |
| Basic | The candidate screening proposal describes concepts with little application. |
| Non-performance | A required part of the candidate screening proposal is missing. |
Use I-O research on selection validity and the Uniform Guidelines.

Annotated sample excerpt
An original model excerpt from our team, written to show the register that reaches the top of the guide. Learn the moves, then write your own version.
For the senior coordinator role, the structured interview will ask every candidate the same six questions drawn from the job analysis, such as how they handled a care plan that a family disagreed with, scored on a behaviorally anchored rating scale.1 Meta-analytic research shows structured interviews predict job performance considerably better than unstructured ones, partly because they reduce interviewers' personal biases.2 Using the same questions and scoring for every candidate also documents that the process was job-related, which supports its defensibility under employment law.3
