Is this true? Can a company be held responsible even though the person was posing as an applicant?</p> <p>----------------------------<br /> According to an EEOC 1996 rule that was recently upheld in a federal appeals court, companies can be sued if their hiring practices are found to be bias. These applicants have been called "testers" by some organizations and they are used to determine whether a company is in compliance with fair hiring laws. One way to avoid this is by implementing the right recruiting and hiring procedures that will allow managers across an organization to objectively interview and hire employees without violating any laws.<br /> ------------------------<br /> Mel Kleiman CSP<br /> President of Humetrics<br /> <a href="http://www.melkleiman.com" rel="nofollow">www.melkleiman.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.humetrics.com" rel="nofollow">www.humetrics.com</a><br /> <a href="mailto:mkleiman@humetrics.com">mkleiman@humetrics.com</a> </p>
