However, the accuracies of ACs with regard to predicting later job performance vary to a great extent in the available literature. In pursue of developing a standardized and detailed instrument which includes quality criteria to evaluate and improve methodological AC quality, the project “Benchmark for Assessment Center Diagnostics” (BACDi) launched in 2008. During the course of the project an instrument has been developed, containing 67 quality criteria for systematically evaluating ACs. This instrument has been applied to 41 large German organizations. This article aims at introducing the application of the BACDi instrument in North American companies which forms the basis of a cultural comparison between AC quality in German speaking countries and North America.
