Human Rights
Employers outside of federal government have provincial or territorial legislation that governs them, while those employed by and/or primarily involved with federal work are subject to the Canadian Human Rights Act. Failing to be aware of these rules can lead to major legal repercussions!
Employers must exercise
discretion when interviewing potential employees, ensuring that only
relevant questions are asked. Questions related to prohibited grounds such as
age, race or national origin should never be posed in an effort to make a
hiring decision. While some employers may view these queries as innocent
conversation starters during the interview process, they can create undue
stress and pressure for applicants while potentially violating their legal
rights - thus making them inappropriate topics of discussion before extending a
job offer.
Applicants already face a great deal of
pressure in the interviewing process, and some employers may take it to an
uncomfortable level by pushing boundaries into very personal territory. It is
important for applicants to remember that regardless if they are asked
questions such as these with permission or not, it is illegal - so best
practice would be simply avoiding them altogether!
After exploring the ins and outs of how to
hire someone new, it's time put our newfound knowledge into practice. Let’s
really dig in and explore these questions: Question 3 is an opportunity for us
to think outside the box - what other avenues could be used for advertising?
With question 5 we can dive deeper by critically analyzing which
characteristics don't apply - then brainstorm ways they can be improved
upon.
As we review the workshop and answer any
remaining questions, it's important to remember words of wisdom from both
Katharine Hepburn - "Death will be a great relief. No more
interviews" - and Dan Zevin who said “Never wear a backward baseball cap
to an interview unless applying for the job of umpire." Todd Bermont also
brings up an interesting point about those unsure what they want do for living:
that uncertainty can show through in your interview! With action plans put into
place, evaluations collected, and certificates passed out, this is going to be
one successful wrap-up!
Get ready - you'll be discovering how your current
job requires both technical and performance skills in an exciting
interview session!
Consider how an employee will use machines,
computer hardware/software as well as which tools they must know in order to
manipulate them correctly. Taking this approach leads you straight down the
path of finding just what is needed from any potential hire!
But, by taking time to review and reflect on
what exactly is important in regard to experience or training, you'll have
greater insight into hiring an ideal candidate based off of their
qualifications. Furthermore, it's essential that safety measures remain
priority when selecting someone who will use specific tools like machinery or
company vehicles as they may need certification beforehand.
They can encompass a range of activities,
from supervising staff and making decisions, to following established protocols
and addressing customer issues. As the cornerstone for strong work habits,
these competencies often make or break a person's ability to handle daily tasks
effectively - something that is particularly evident when it comes roles such
as customer service supervisors having responsibility over multiple
representatives while also dealing with outside queries efficiently.
As employers search for the perfect
candidates, they must weigh each approach based on its usefulness and ability
to find someone who is a great fit. This session will explore time-saving
strategies that help you efficiently identify potential employees while
maintaining positive relationships with them throughout their journey of job
searching.
File Searches can be advantageous, as they
attract people who are already interested in the organization. However, it is
essential to have a systematized filing procedure so that all applications get
the same consideration and no worthy applicants go unnoticed. Internal Searches
often help boost employee morale knowing their hard work could eventually lead
them to greater heights within an enterprise; though this option does not bring
any new personnel into your business sphere. Placement Services offer a quick
solution but may not thoroughly screen potential candidates- leading you with
unqualified individuals - while Referral Programs present another avenue of
bringing on board capable workers at potentially lower costs than other
methods.
