Review the essential job functions. What skills will be needed by an applicant to successfully perform the job? What kind of interview questions will help determine if an applicant can perform the essential job functions? If you intend to pre-screen applicants, develop objective and relevant benchmarks and apply them uniformly. Review how you advertise and recruit. Are all areas of the community being reached or are some groups being excluded? Note that word-of-mouth or employee referral methods of recruitment may be unlawful if the current workforce is not representative of the area population. If using an application form, carefully review it to ensure it does not ask for discriminatory, irrelevant or nonessential information. Are there any application or interview barriers for a person using a wheelchair, having a hearing or vision impairment, a learning disability or others who may need an accommodation?. When advertising, be careful about the language used. Ads which imply or express an unlawful preference or limitation, such as “young, energetic” (age discrimination), should be avoided.
