More expensive procedures for measuring a job candidate's appropriateness for a position are justified when:

A) labor costs are variable and rise with productivity gains
B) labor markets are tight
C) tenure in the job is expected to be relatively short
D) incremental increases in performance reap large rewards for the organization
E) there are only a few applicants to choose from

When incremental increases in performance lead to substantial rewards for the organization, it is justified to use more expensive procedures for measuring a job candidate's appropriateness for a position. This is because employing the best possible candidate who can deliver high performance will result in significant benefits for the organization, making the additional cost of more expensive procedures worth it.
