About the Program

Recruiting and hiring practices remain under heightened scrutiny as employers navigate a rapidly evolving legal landscape shaped by increased agency enforcement, challenges to diversity-related initiatives, majority discrimination claims, and the growing use of artificial intelligence in talent acquisition. Against this backdrop, understanding where regulators are focusing their attention has become increasingly important for organizations seeking to manage risk while meeting workforce needs.

Join us for a discussion on emerging developments affecting recruiting and hiring practices, with a focus on current Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforcement activity and recent resolutions in hiring-related matters. Our experienced attorneys will explore key trends, practical considerations, and proactive strategies to help employers evaluate and strengthen their recruiting and hiring programs in a changing compliance environment.

Topics will include:

Evolving EEOC strategic enforcement priorities impacting recruiting and hiring
Lessons from recent consent decrees, settlements, and enforcement actions
Recruiting flashpoints creating heightened legal and reputational risk
Practical considerations for assessing and mitigating recruiting and hiring risks
