1-Minute HR Audit

One of the hiring managers at Company ABC likes to ask candidates personal questions during the interview process. The hiring manager feels this provides a better understanding of the candidate and claims most people don’t mind discussing religious preferences, marital status, etc. Should Company ABC be concerned?

• A Interviewers cannot ask any questions that could be deemed discriminatory in nature and that would reveal personal, non-job related information.
• B Company ABC should not be concerned, it’s important to get to know a candidate both personally and professionally.
• C Bottom line is the only way to understand what challenges lay ahead with a candidate is to ask these questions.
