One Way HR Teams and Recruiters Can Make 2020 a Little Easier

Compliance issues affecting hiring, candidate screening, and even Drug Free Workplace policies have never been more complex. New laws, revised regulatory guidance, and surprising legal precedents are affecting employment-related decisions across the country.

What HR teams and recruiters really need is a road map to guide them in understanding what’s changed and what questions they should raise with counsel.

That’s exactly what Kelly Uebel put together in the Trends for 2020 webinar she led last week. As Asurint’s General Counsel and the Professional Background Screening Association’s Secretary/Treasurer, Kelly has her finger on the pulse of background screening, hiring, and employment law. And she’s always happy to share some perspective.

• Legal risk surrounding negligent hiring and Fair Credit Reporting Act lawsuits and what protections employers are implementing

Asurint webinars aren’t static presentations. We make sure participants get involved and ask their own questions. As you might imagine, there were TONS of compliance issues HR leaders, hiring managers, recruiters, and others who logged in last Thursday wanted to know about—and it’s likely many of your biggest concerns were addressed.
