However, grievances can happen after the selection process has concluded. Both internal and external candidates for positions can file complaints. External candidates are most likely to file a complaint with the Illinois Department of Human Rights or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
As a result, it is vital to have a well-documented hiring process. With thorough documentation, management should be able to demonstrate that the candidate who best met the requirements detailed in the position description was selected for the position.
What makes a well-documented hiring process?
·
Current
and accurate position descriptions.
Ensuring the accuracy of your position descriptions is the basis for
screening, interviewing questions and later, for evaluations.
·
Create
interview questions based off the position description. Questions should:
o
Assess
whether the candidate has the required level of job knowledge that is both
essential to job performance and constitutes the minimum that must be known
prior to entering the position.
o
Determine
the extent to which the candidate has, in fact, ever performed the major duties
of the position for which she/he is applying.
o
For
those jobs with few or only very basic minimum requirements, as well as for
jobs with some unpleasant or monotonous working conditions, questions should be
prepared regarding the candidate’s understanding of, and willingness to perform
the major duties.
o
Be
accurate, complete and easily understood.
o
Clearly
and strictly job-related and directly linked to the position’s major duties
o
Not
be leading in order to avoid biasing a candidate’s response
o
Should
be stated in terms of sample position duties, and should be designed to elicit
information on job-related behaviors
o
Should
be geared to the appropriate complexity level of the position
o
Should
be carefully reviewed to eliminate any possible reference to prohibited areas
of inquiry.
·
Create
a scoring method for the interview process.
A numeric rating enables the calculation of an overall score for ranking
purposes. Carefully
document the candidate’s response to each question. Write
up a justification as to why the final candidate was selected.
