Hiring Without Lawsuits:
The Legal Way to Recruit,
Screen & Interview

In air travel, takeoffs and landings are the most dangerous part of the trip. The same is true with the lifecycle of your employees, particularly their "takeoffs."

Legal dangers lurk in every corner of the recruiting, screening and hiring process. Employers must be in total compliance. One mistake by a manager or HR professional could mean millions in liability – and your career.

Examples: Pepsi thought it was using background checks in a nondiscriminatory way, but the EEOC slammed the company with a $3.2 million race-bias verdict. And a small New York company that hired a temp to clean up its paper files saw a half dozen employees get their identity stolen – big liability and a PR disaster.

Don't wait for legal trouble like this to get in compliance.

Hiring Without Lawsuits: The Legal Way to Recruit, Screen & Interview will help you discover effective and legally correct ways to screen and hire employees – from proper background checks, drug tests and skills tests to interviews and job descriptions.

You'll learn:

• How to erase the risk of discrimination complaints from you job ads, applications and interviews
• The key "protected categories" of applicants under federal law that you need to understand (race, age, sex, etc.)
• Unique state protections, such as marriage, political affiliation and even marijuana use
• The #1 golden rule that should guide every employment decision
• The words in job ads that will trigger legal trouble every time
• When and how you can still legally ask applicants about their criminal backgrounds ("ban the box" laws are spreading fast)
• The legal way to run background checks, including how to write an "adverse action" notice to rejected applicants
• What every job description should include – and leave out
• 10 legally safe interview questions that help you sort the eagles from the turkeys
• 10 topics to NEVER bring up in interviews (and how to get that information the legal way)
• The legal risk of video interviews – and how to work around them
• How to take notes during interviews, without having them be Exhibit A in court
• Best practices for assessing applicants and making a final decision
• Plus much more, and answers to your specific questions by an attorney who specializes in this issue!

Effective screening has never been more important. Yet a growing number of employers – concerned they're losing out on top talent in this hot economy – have relaxed or even eliminated elements of their screening practices. Not smart.
