Talent Acquisition Year in Review 2017

To say that the year 2017 in Talent Acquisition was a whirlwind would be a massive understatement. With the lowest unemployment rate in the U.S. in decades, for many that meant that traditional hiring practices got a facelift as the competition for top talent got that much tighter.  Data analytics took center stage for many organizations: identifying, tracking and deciphering data points to better form decisions backed by solid metrics gave many a leg up in optimizing their efforts. Technology-forward recruiting efforts continued to climb as an effective tool for sourcing and hiring as well as for long-term retention.

  • Influential Trends in Recruiting
  • Top Challenges and Growth Opportunities
  • Key Learnings & Insights
  • A Look Ahead to 2018

Ban on Compensation History Inquiries

The ban on compensation history inquiries has caused quite the buzz within talent acquisition. This new legislation effectively makes it illegal for employers to ask applicants for their compensation history when considering them for a role. The thought is that by removing this question as an option within the interview process, employers will more than likely review the candidate’s experience, education, and cultural fit rather than their previous compensation when both considering them for the role as well as the compensation range to offer. By doing so, the spirit of the law is that this will pave the way for increasing pay equality – based on merit and experience – rather than looking at an applicant’s gender, race, or other characteristics. 

In this white paper, uncover:

  • How Employers Are Interpreting the Law
  • Steps Employers May Take to Apply the Legislation
  • Consequences of Non-Compliance
  • Options for Candidates
