The major legal concerns in recruiting center on discriminatory practices that may have adverse impact on applicants
Question:
The major legal concerns in recruiting center on discriminatory practices that may have adverse impact on applicants and privacy. In some cases, as with social media the two may intersect, where although social media information/postings are not protected by privacy laws, decisions which are deemed discriminatory based upon these postings may lead to discriminatory practices and penalties. Discuss the issue of privacy as it pertains to recruitment and the issues it presents. How can a company make sure it selects the best candidates while at the same time protect itself against litigation centered on its violation of discrimination or privacy. How has the recent GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) legislation passed in the UK complicated the issue for U.S. business?
