Description

Employment candidate interviewing is a significant function that supports organizational objectives. Ensuring that permissible interviews are conducted is critical for Human Resources professionals and the organizations they represent. Employment interviews must be grounded in sound knowledge, excellent technique, and the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Legislation. This one-day course is centered on the fundamental skills and legal parameters for selecting the right people for the right jobs.

  • Describe the two stages of pre-employment established by the American's with Disabilities Act
