Effective Hiring & ADA Compliance provides a complete guide to ensuring compliance with ADA in every aspect of the hiring process - so that your company can avoid costly discrimination suits. You'll learn the legally acceptable approach to all the necessary steps and documentation accurate job descriptions, nonprejudicial ads, fair job posting and application forms, effective interview questions, and the appropriate use of medical exams and employment tests. The book contains many examples of correct and incorrect ads, job descriptions, application forms, and other documentation to help guide your efforts. It even supplies outlines that can be used as overheads to train managers throughout your organization. And it shows you how to conduct an "accessibility audit" to make sure your site is accessible to all job applicants. A large portion of the book helps you with the central task of carrying out the actual interview. You'll learn how to: meet and greet the applicant; physically accommodate an interviewee if special help is needed; be comfortable when talking to a candidate with a disability (disability etiquette); ask questions sensitively and legally; and elicit the information you need to determine the candidate's qualifications for the job. Effective Hiring & ADA Compliance includes specific guidelines for what you can - and can't - ask a candidate. It also provides real-world interview scenarios to help you see how to handle potentially awkward situations. Throughout, the book gives you quizzes, checklists, and other helpful tools to make sure that you are conducting the hiring process fairly. Finally, Effective Hiring & ADA Compliance provides you with a measuring stick to seehow effectively the company's overall hiring process is carried out. Whether the company hires an individual with a disability or not, in each instance you'll be assured that every effort is made to consider all possible candidates, and that the best choice is made.
