North Star SHRM - The Legal Landscape – The Hiring Process

The Legal Landscape – The Hiring Process

The target audience for this seminar is HR professionals and any small business owners.  The hiring process continues to get more complicated for employers.  From ban-the-box laws to salary history bans and other state and local nuances, the maze of employment laws grows every year.  This presentation will help you navigate the hiring process-from posting jobs to offering someone a position, and legal implications to think of along the way.  The training will cover key legal considerations for hiring and selection-from developing postings, screening, processing background checks, and interviewing to reference checks and final selection.

Objectives are:

• Understand the laws to know and consider during the hiring process;
• Learn proper and improper questions to ask during the interview process;
• Understand the importance of having good job descriptions.
