Discrimination is a serious concern
among recruiters. If discriminatory hiring practices can be proven, this could
result in serious harm, both financially and in terms of reputation. The United
States Department of Labor forbids discrimination based on race, colour,
national origin, sex, disability, religion, political affiliation, religion or
age. Steps can be taken to avoid such complications. First, advertise only the
essential requirements for the position. Provide an accurate job description,
listing only the position name and the specific duties involved. Things such as
language proficiency or physical capabilities should not be listed unless they
are absolutely essential for the role. When conducting interviews, ensure that
the location is accessible by people with disabilities and refrain from holding
interviews on religious or cultural holidays. Use the same questions for every
candidate and try to have more than one recruiter present during the interview.
Careful notes must be taken so that recruiters can justify hiring or not hiring
the particular candidate.
Conclusion
I have concluded that
recruitment process is very important for any company or organization. Recruiters
play an important role in the success of an organization. They essentially act
as a filter that -- when used properly -- only selects the best candidates. In
a constantly changing business world, companies need to hire people who are
adaptable, loyal, knowledgeable, dependable and confident, thereby creating a
foundation for success.
