Overview

Employers strive to hire new employees with the best skills and experience to meet business needs.  To do so requires careful review of each candidate.  And, in an era of social media and virtually endless amounts of accessible data, employers face increasing pressures to thoroughly vet potential hires.  On the other side of the equation are the many laws at the federal, state and local level regulating what employers can ask about applicants, when that information can be obtained, and how it ultimately can be used.
