What’s in a Name? Stamping Out Bias in Employment Screening Processes

April 2, 2019 | Littler Filed Under: Hiring Process

Littler

Implicit bias in the workplace can start as early as the application process. A key study conducted by National Bureau of Economic Research found that significantly fewer employers responded to resumes listing stereotypically “black-sounding” names than resumes including similar qualifications but listing “white-sounding names.” Job advertisements might include words or phrases that – by accident or design – tend to draw applicants of a certain race or gender. How can employers recognize these unconscious biases in hiring and take steps to address them? In this podcast, Cindy-Ann Thomas, Littler Principal and Co-Chair of the firm’s EEO and Diversity and Inclusion practice group, discusses these issues with Littler Shareholder Jeffrey Hanslick and Amy Peterson, Director of Parker and Lynch and Ajilon professional search firm.

State Attorneys General Step Up Antitrust Probes of Franchise Industry Hiring Practices

August 24, 2018 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: Hiring Process

Jackson Lewis

In the midst of a federal effort to ramp up antitrust prosecutions of companies agreeing not to recruit or hire each other’s employees (see previous articles dated November 9, 2016, January 25, 2018, April 25, 2018 and July 17, 2018), special scrutiny – and criticism – has been directed toward the use of no-poach agreements in the franchise industry.

Emerging Laws Prohibit Employers from Inquiring About Past Pay Histories

October 25, 2017 | Ford Harrison Filed Under: Hiring Process

Executive Summary: Subject to limited exceptions, federal, state, and local laws already require employers to pay men and women equally for doing similar work under similar working conditions. In another important effort to narrow the gender wage gap, four U.S. states, three cities, and the territory of Puerto Rico have recently passed laws that impose even stricter equal pay obligations on employers. These “past pay privacy” laws prohibit employers from seeking certain information about job applicants’ historical salaries. Without exception, these laws are gender-neutral. Thus, they aim to stop lower wages from following both women and minority workers in their professional careers and stop wage disparities from perpetuating in the United States labor market.
