HR Exercise

Examining Job Applications for Inappropriate Questions

Review the application form below for “United Holy Radio Network” for their administrative and clerical employees. You should thoroughly review the legal requirements for pre-employment inquiries and other relevant information on legal standard for selection purpose/application forms found in your text and discussed in our lecture prior to completing this exercise.  As you review the form, consider the following for each item/question:

1. Is this question job-related?
2. Will answers to this question have an adverse impact in screening out members of protected groups (i.e., disqualify a significantly larger percentage of members of one particular group than of others)?
3. Is this question really needed to judge an applicant’s qualifications and suitability for the job?
4. Does the question constitute an invasion of privacy?
5. Can the applicant’s response to this question be verified?

You do not need to answer each of the above questions in your write-up.  They are simply provided here to help guide your thinking.  The goal of your write up is to:  List any and all items/ questions on the form that are inappropriate and explain why. Where possible, make specific recommendations for improving the items/questions that appear on the form. i.e. Could an inappropriate question be reworded to become appropriate?  If so, how?
