DETAILS: Increasingly, today's employers rely on big data solutions to source, recruit and hire job candidates. While big data has the potential to reduce recruiting costs and streamline hiring processes, these tools also present a host of legal and other business risks. Risks that include a seemingly neutral algorithm that actually creates or perpetuates discrimination based on protected characteristics. Before implementing these tools, employers need to learn how big data impacts the candidate selection process and about any hidden risks that may exist.
During this webinar, Eric Sydell, vice president of Research and Innovation at Shaker , will join Mark Girouard, employment attorney and shareholder at Nilan Johnson Lewis, to explore how big data is changing the pre-employment selection landscape. Through their discussion, Sydell and Girouard will examine the risks of big data selection tools and explain how traditional assessment validation methods can be used to enhance the legal defensibility of these new tools. Sydell and Girouard will also discuss job analysis and related techniques that can improve the validity and reduce the risks of big data analytics. Session attendees will learn what to ask big data vendors to ensure risks are being addressed and gain insights into future hiring trends.
HR professionals, recruiters, hiring managers and business leaders interested in understanding more about the challenges and opportunities of using big data analytics for hiring are encouraged to attend this webinar. To register, visit: https://shakerevent.webex.com/shakerevent/ons...f2b19b727d .
