Old School
In the Recruiting & Staffing Forum:
A member writes: "I started at a
family-owned company that is still
run the old-school way by the good
old boys. My main job is recruiting
for hard-to-find skilled-trade employees.
Whenever I interview candidates,
with the supervisor of the department
and sometimes the HR manager, they
always ask questions that are considered
taboo in interviews in this day
and age. I have told them over and
over we cannot ask these questions,
but they don't care. The reply I
get is 'This is the way we have
been doing it all these years, so
we will continue on.' I see this
as a lawsuit waiting to happen.
What can I do to get these supervisors
and the HR manager to comply with
today's laws?"
