|
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.
