The interviewing and hiring process continues to present significant legal and operational risks for employers. From non-compliant job applications and unlawful interview questions to social media screening pitfalls and failure-to-hire claims, organizations must navigate an increasingly complex hiring landscape. These challenges are further compounded by evolving pay transparency laws, heightened enforcement activity, multi-state compliance obligations, and the continued impact of hybrid and remote work on workplace culture and productivity, and the continued expansion of the use of AI in the screening and hiring process.

This program will take a practical, business-focused approach to the hiring process, examining how employers can balance compliance, diversity initiatives, and business objectives while minimizing the risk of litigation, audits, and enforcement actions. The session will address real-world scenarios and provide guidance on building defensible hiring practices in today’s regulatory environment.

This session will cover:

• Common legal risks in the interviewing and hiring process and how to avoid them
• Lawful and unlawful interview practices, including emerging enforcement trends
• Social media screening and background review considerations
• Multi-state compliance challenges impacting hiring decisions
• Strategies for aligning hiring practices with diversity, culture, and business goals
