The Hidden Lawsuits in Your Hiring Process: Background Screening Compliance Explained
D
6:33Debra KellerGUEST
But [laughs] you can look at any job platform and you will see in job ads that people will- employers are still putting, "Must have a clean criminal record." You know, you can't do that anymore.
D
6:47Debra KellerGUEST
You, you cannot say that because if you are saying that in that job ad up front, that implies that you are not doing what is called an individualized assessment.
D
6:57Debra KellerGUEST
We're gonna talk more about individualized assessments more in depth, but in general, what it is is putting a message out, "We're just going to say no because you have a criminal record" without even giving consideration as to what that record is, okay? And that's a big no-no.

7:15Debra KellerGUEST
And then the second part of the job ad, and this is just, it amazes me what cities are doing these days.
D
7:21Debra KellerGUEST
New York City, for example, is one that sticks in my mind that I see a lot, where you have to either have the exact salary posted for the job in your job posting, or you're nodding you know exactly what I'm talking about.
D
7:36Debra KellerGUEST
Or some states will also require a range be posted in the job ad, which is something, you know, 10 years ago, I at least wasn't thinking about that, and now we all need to think about that.
