Answer to Question 1

Answer: Firms that use the Internet for recruiting purposes must show that they are in compliance with EEO laws. Since fewer older people use the Internet, online application gathering may inadvertently exclude disproportionate numbers of older applicants and certain minorities. To prove they've complied with EEO laws, employers should keep track of each applicant's race, sex, and ethnic group. The EEO says that, to be an applicant, he or she must meet three conditions: he or she must express interest in employment; the employer must have taken steps to fill a specific job; and the individual must have followed the employer's standard application procedure. Firms must adhere to EEO laws in regards to the information they request on job application forms. For example, firms should remember that questions about an applicant's education should avoid asking about the dates of attendance and graduation from various schools because the information may reflect the applicant's age. The courts have usually held that employers violate Title VII by disqualifying applicants from employment because of an arrest, so forms should not ask about an applicant's arrest record. Some forms ask the applicant to list memberships in clubs, organizations, or societies. Employers should include instructions not to include organizations that would reveal race, religion, physical handicaps, marital status, or ancestry. It is usually illegal to require the listing of an applicant's physical handicaps or past illnesses unless the application blank specifically asks only for those that may interfere with your job performance.
