A list of illegal interview questions is a start, but it can't cover everything recruiters and hiring managers need to know about Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) compliance. This 60-minute webinar explains U.S. EEO compliance across applicant screening, interviewing and hiring decisions.
You'll learn what the protected characteristics are, how they relate to the hiring process and why they are off-limits, with a brief overview of the EEO laws that apply to hiring. The session looks at common mistakes and less obvious off-limits topics drawn from real-world situations.
You'll come away knowing not just what not to ask, but which information can't be considered in a hiring decision, and why.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Anyone involved in hiring needs a working knowledge of the information that can't be used if the organization is to stay compliant with EEO requirements. Relying on a list of banned questions leaves gaps that create risk and liability.
This session suits recruiters, staffing specialists, HR coordinators, specialists, business partners, managers and directors, and managers, supervisors, owners and executives with hiring responsibilities.
