Avoid the legal traps of job postings and notifications.

Many employers focus most of their resources on policies and procedures that apply to employees once they are hired. However, employers often overlook the many pitfalls in the job posting, application, interview, and hiring process that can result in better hiring decisions and minimize exposure with a few key best practices.

This topic helps employers revamp their hiring practices from start to finish: how to prepare an effective job posting, effective ways to recruit, techniques for applicant screening and interviewing, and how to prepare an effective offer of employment.

This information will also cover the emerging laws facing employers at the pre-employment stage and provides recommendations on navigating these areas. By improving the hiring process, employers can effectively reduce litigation from the first day of employment.
