HR 101 - More Hiring: Application Form

As basic as it is, the Employment Application form is an important document.

First, be sure you are using an Application that complies with State and Federal labor law. Completed applications must be kept on file and can form the base of your defense against a discrimination claim. It also becomes the first document in an employee's personnel file and can become critical if later problems arise with the employee.

The HR Recruiter will explore and evaluate all the information on the form. They may also verify key information contained in the form.

Note: Don't write anything, notes or comments, on the application form. That can cause you major problems in defending against a claim.
