EEOC Examinces Employment Testing & ScreeningHR.BLR.com
May 16, 2007
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is set to examine how agency-enforced laws apply to employment testing and screening.
During a public meeting today, the EEOC will hear from expert panelists, including EEOC attorneys, advocates on behalf of employers and employees, and two nationally recognized organizational psychologists.
The panelists will share their experiences and perspectives on employment testing and screening, and answer questions from commissioners.
The meeting comes amid increased employment testing as employers seek lawful and efficient ways to screen large numbers of applicants. Topics of discussion will include written tests that evaluate knowledge and skills, criminal and credit histories as a basis for selection, medical exclusions in hiring, and employer best practices.
