OVERVIEW

You need to hire new employees—and you’ve heard the war stories. One company was sued because the interviewer asked the wrong interview questions. Another got into trouble because of the pre-employment screening 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?
