An increasing number of American employers are turning to employment testing to seek out the cream of the talent crop. Unfortunately, the numbers of applicants claiming discrimination are also increasing. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC):

  • Ford Motor Company had to shell out $8.55 million after African American applicants were rejected for an apprenticeship program after taking a cognitive test.
  • Dial Corporation had to change its testing policy after a group of female applicants were disproportionately rejected for entry-level production jobs because of a strength test.
  • And Daimler Chrysler Corporation had to provide monetary relief for 12 individuals with learning disabilities who needed reading accommodations.

Don't become a statistic. Learn what kind of testing is legally safe and the pros and cons of testing your job applicants by participating in the all-new HR Hero audio conference, This Is Only a Test: Legal Dos and Don'ts for Employment Testing.

In just 90 minutes, your speaker will cover:

  • A breakdown of the various kinds of tests, including cognitive, physical ability, sample job tasks, medical inquiries and physical exams, personality and integrity tests, criminal background tests, credit checks, English proficiency tests, and even performance evaluations
  • How to use tests correctly and how to implement a legally sound testing policy
  • Legal pitfalls to avoid when using tests
  • Discrimination concerns when tests are used unwisely, including unintentional and "disparate impact" discrimination
  • Eye-opening statistics of discrimination charges with real-life case examples
  • When employment testing is justified: Is the test job related and consistent with a business necessity -- and is there a less discriminatory alternative?
  • The Uniform Guidelines on Employment Selection Procedures
  • Specific laws that come into play: Title VII, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, etc.

This Is Only a Test: Legal Dos and Don'ts for Employment Testing is just $227.
