Full Title: Law Firm Hiring and Interviewing: When It Has to Be the Right Person

In the increasingly competitive law firm environment, hiring the best applicant is imperative and doing so without creating a legal liability is essential. In today’s litigious environment, it is necessary to take the time upfront to do things right. Learn how! This one-hour webinar will focus on what you can and cannot do during the hiring process. It will examine the entire hiring process, including 1) taking appropriate precautions even before the first interview is conducted; 2) avoiding unlawful questions during the interview; and 3) documenting the decision-making process. The use of behavioral interviewing, background checks, the dangers associated with the use of social networking websites, proper documentation and other necessary pre-offer recruitment techniques will be discussed.

Objectives:
  • Describe the appropriate steps to be taken in advance of the interview process.
  • Identify the dangers associated with asking improper questions during the interview.
  • Discuss the questions that should be asked and how they should be asked.
