COURSE DESCRIPTION: Hiring is fraught with pitfalls. The more you and your company’s managers scrutinize job candidates, the more you increase your risk of lawsuits. Probing questions. Job applications. Background, credit and reference checks. Drug testing. All these measures can expose you to legal action.

 

But the worst thing you could do is compromise your recruiting efforts and hire the wrong people. In this conference we’ll show HR executives and managers how to have it both ways –- maintain your rigorous recruiting standards while reducing the risk of lawsuits.

 

You will learn the seven key areas of vulnerability:
  • Job Specification and Interview Selection: What should job posting include? Who do you interview? Employment applications: How to design them so they capture critical information without violating the law.
  • Questioning candidates: What questions can you and your managers ask during job interviews? And what questions should you avoid?
  • Reference checks, Criminal Checks and Credit Checks: How many do you need?
  • How can you get useful information while complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act?
  • How can you get around neutral references?
  • What questions should you ask?
  • What else can and should you check and consider?
  • What can you - and can’t you - ask, say, and do in the course of an interview?
  • Drug testing and Other Testing: Should you do it and when?
  • Decision Making Process: What can be considered? What may not be considered?
  • Documentation: What documents will save the day if a job candidate accuses your company of age, gender, race or any other type of discrimination?
