Recruiting

- Job advertisements should include information indicating that an employer doesn’t discriminate.
Job advertisements should include information indicating an employer does not discriminate, such as: “We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin, or disability.”
The job information should be available to all individuals, including those with disabilities, and should be accessible to people with different disabilities. While employers are not obligated to provide written information in various formats in advance, they should make it available in an accessible format upon request.
A reasonable accommodation statement is often included in:
- Job postings
- Online applications
- Employee handbooks
- Reasonable accommodation policies
Many employers are using artificial intelligence (AI) to help streamline their hiring practices and make them more effective. This could include job applicant screening programs and/or facial-recognition software. Using AI, interviews can be analyzed by:
- Advanced machine learning
- Facial expressions
- Word choice evaluated by a series of algorithms
The use of such technology should not, however, impede an employer’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance goals.
