Sorting out issues in third-party recruiting

Article Abstract:

The legal and ethical aspects of using a third-party recruitment agency are discussed. Laws on licensing and business practices vary depending on the state but employment agencies must comply with nondiscrimination laws. Employers that use third-party recruiting should ensure that the agency follows the federal or state employment law since the latter will act as their agents. They should research about the recruiting company to avoid questionable practices. Meanwhile, third-party recruiters do not have any direct ties with career services unless it involves the disclosure of student information.

Job-related qualifications: the key to students' employment rights

Article Abstract:

Improper questions and tests are issues which concern students during the hiring process. An employer should only ask for job-related information to enable him to assess the qualifications of the student applicant. Other information which are irrelevant to the applicants' abilities should not influence hiring decisions. Meanwhile, students should ensure that results from polygraph tests, alcohol and drug tests, personality tests and AIDS test are merely preconditions for employment and will in no way affect the employer's evaluation of the student's abilities.
