Can a claim be brought against an employer for hiring practices?

Yes! Some of the prohibited hiring practices include, recruiting at a predominantly white institution; placing ads that tend to screen out members of a protected class; or using language in employment ads that are sexist or that shows a preference for a specific age group.

Other forms of illegal hiring activity include certain types of pre-employment testing. For example, an employer can require the potential employee subject himself to testing as a condition of employment. However, the tests must be job related and not have a disparate impact on a protected group. Additionally, an employer must offer reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities when offering a pre-employment test to an individual so as not to put the disabled individual at a disadvantage.
