[WATCH] HR Hotline Live: Hiring Practices

Hiring a new employee isn’t just about finding the right skills and experience—it’s also a legal minefield. From interview questions to background checks, missteps can lead to costly compliance issues.

HR Hotline Live: Avoiding Hiring Hazards features CBIA HR Counsel Diane Mokriski and Carmody Torrance Sandak & Hennessey attorneys Vincent Farisello and Nick Zaino breaking down key legal considerations in hiring.

They answer questions like:

• Do we need to provide written offer letters?
• What types of arrests or convictions justify rescinding an offer?
• What should we do if an applicant tests positive for marijuana?
• Can we contact a candidate’s former employer without permission?
• What interview questions could put us at legal risk?
• Do wage ranges have to be included in job postings?

This program is approved for 1 HRCI and SHRM credit.
