[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Even seemingly innocent interview questions can cause legal headaches for your company, make sure you know what you can and can’t ask.

Interviewing prospective employees is not just an important skill for a company to master to obtain top talent, but it also has to be done in line with applicable legal limits. No matter how much an employer wants to know about a candidate, there are limits as to what a candidate can be legally asked. Employers who fail to ensure that their interview process meets legal requirements run the risk of having to defend costly lawsuits stemming from a perception that a past employment decision was premised upon legally inappropriate areas of inquiry. This information will help you understand the “dos and don’ts” of employment interviewing with an eye towards providing practical advice to best train your employees in complying with all required legal rules and limitations in the hiring process.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1515174133361{padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][tm-heading h2=”Objectives” txt_align=”center”][vc_column_text]

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]An ever increasing number of employers are recognizing the benefits that can be derived from conducting background checks on both current and prospective employees. While background checks can be an effective tool for weeding out questionable employees, legal limitations on how such checks can be performed (and how the resulting data discovered can be used) must be understood or otherwise an employer will find itself defending against its own illegal actions. In this seminar, you will learn about the chief law covering this topic, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and review the kinds of background checks that can be conducted by employers. Much of these latter discussions will be focused on the Fair Credit Reporting Act guidelines for conducting criminal background checks previously issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and also on the recent trend in many states of placing limits on when criminal background information can be obtained from candidates for employment through enacted ‘Ban the Box’ laws. Finally, the increasing use of social media outlets to conduct background checks will also be examined, along with the potential legal risks and pitfalls of utilizing such media outlets to perform background checks.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][tm-heading h2=”Presenter” txt_align=”center”][vc_column_text]
