Why is it important for interviewers to be aware of potential discrimination in hiring?

How can interviewers ask questions that are both effective and lawful?
  • Use behavioral-based interviewing techniques: These types of questions encourage candidates to share examples of how they have handled situations in the past, providing insight into their skills and experience.
  • Focus on the essential functions of the job: The questions should be relevant to the job's responsibilities and requirements.
  • Avoid leading questions: Questions should be open-ended and allow candidates to provide their own perspectives and insights.

Well-maintained interview notes are essential for documenting the interview process, comparing candidates, and making informed hiring decisions. They can also help to protect the organization in the event of a lawsuit.
