WEBINAR: Pre-Employment Screening and Interview Questions
Course Curriculum
It is your job to hire new employees—and you’ve heard the war stories. One company was sued because the interviewer asked the wrong questions. Another got into trouble because of the pre-employment test it used, and yet another received a charge from the EEOC relating to its use of criminal background checks. These are just a few of the traps for the unwary employer during the pre-employment screening process. The hiring process is fraught with many hidden pitfalls. What can you do?
If you are looking to hire quality candidates and ensure that your process is legally compliant, this webinar will provide guidelines to avoid these potential pitfalls and reduce your potential liability.
