EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES
DCI provides consulting or testifying expert support relying on our expertise in industrial-organizational psychology, statistics, and labor economics.
When our consultants are needed in a non-testifying role, we work with law firms as consulting experts. Our Industrial-Organizational Psychologists and Labor Economists have performed a wide variety of services in this capacity.
Some of our most frequent services include:
- Review of recruitment and Equal Employment Opportunity compliance
- Job analysis to substantiate the validity of selection and promotion assessments
- Risk assessment and evaluation of human resources processes (for example, hiring, promotion, and performance measurement)
- Content-oriented and criterion-oriented validation of selection tools and systems
- In post-settlement work, conduct item-by-item sensitivity reviews of selection assessments with consideration for differences in responses arising for applicants with myriad disabilities or for other group differences
- Serve as arbitrators in union proceedings
Our team of Ph.D. Industrial-Organizational Psychologists and Labor Economists rely on decades of litigation, test validation, and statistical experience to support law firms or federal civil rights agencies by offering a wide variety of services:
- Evaluation of organizations’ human resources policies, procedures, and practices subject to equal employment laws
- Analysis of data from selection and promotion decisions to study group differences in selection rates
- Preparation of affirmative expert reports in compliance with Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP 26)
- Submission of reports rebutting opinions of opposing experts
- Assistance with post-settlement activities to meet the requirements of consent decrees and conciliation agreements
- Review and validation of recruiting and selection tools that rely on artificial intelligence
- Independent applied research including studies of the empirical, scientific literature on the subject at issue (e.g., selection procedure design and validation, performance management)
- Coding narrative and numerical information (for example, coding of details from reports of sexual harassment, disciplinary incident files) through the application scientific sampling techniques and replicable scientific methods, independent review, and consensus
