Upcoming NED Podcast: Can Social Recruiting Lead to Discrimination and Equal Opportunity Issues?

jpassen — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 19:13:06 +0000

Social media is changing the recruiting landscape. And while people are racing to figure out how to harness the power of social recruiting (and even define it), issues related to discrimination and equal opportunity employment are imminent. As you can imagine there’s information available on social networking sites that violates anti-discrimination laws. And, recruiting exclusively with social media can potentially lead to disparate impact. What does this mean? It means that it’s time to better understand the impacts of social media and the implications that it has on recruiting – and your recruiting program.

During this special episode of NED we’ll discuss recruiting via social media and the potential for disparate claims impact claims with Dr. Stephanie Thomas, the Director of the Equal Employment Advisory and Litigation Support Division of Minimax Consulting.

EEO/AA: What Employers Need to Know and Why – The Basics with Labor and Employment Law Expert Jonathan T. Hyman

jpassen — Thu, 06 May 2010 18:50:32 +0000

Let’s face it, EEOC regulations (and there are plenty of them) are confusing. The Department of Labor and EEOC are slated to receive a record amount of funding in 2010 and this means more enforcement is imminent. Are you aware of your obligations in order to be an equal opportunity employer? How big of a company do you need to be to worry about this? What are the basics that you need to be aware of?

We’ll cover these basic questions and more with Jonathan T. Hyman, a labor and employment law expert. Jonathan is a Partner at Kohrman, Jackson & Krantz, an industry blogger and a frequent guest on various employment law related podcasts.

Can Compliance be Sexy?

jpassen — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:23:18 +0000

We think so. For the past several months, we’ve worked with our customers, lawyers, and even an OFCCP compliance officer to design Newton’s compliance module. Today, our development team finally started implementing this feature that will make OFCCP and EEO compliance a breeze. While we’ve always allowed our customers to collect EEO data, we recently decided to expand this feature providing our customers the easiest way to collect, store and report critical information often required by the US Government.

By mid-December, customers of Newton who are subject to laws administered by the OFCCP (Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs) will have the most advanced tracking and reporting feature available in any applicant tracking system. And, for our larger customers, those over 50 employees, Newton EEO/ OFCCP is going to be a veritable compliance blessing spitting out applicant flow logs that export to the same form required by the US Government.

So stay tuned, we’ll have more information on this time saving feature out soon.
