# Anti-Discrimination Hiring Compliance
This playbook outlines steps for employers to ensure anti-discrimination compliance during the hiring process to adhere to equal opportunity regulations and promote fairness.

### Step 1: Policy Review
Review and update the company&#x27;s anti-discrimination policies to ensure they reflect current laws and promote equal opportunity in the hiring process.

### Step 2: Training
Conduct regular training sessions for HR personnel and hiring managers on anti-discrimination practices and equal employment opportunity (EEO) laws.

### Step 3: Job Posting
Craft job advertisements and descriptions that are neutral and focus on the essential qualifications and responsibilities without discriminatory language or criteria.

### Step 4: Application Screening
Implement a consistent and fair screening process for applications that focuses on qualifications and experience, avoiding biases related to race, gender, age, etc.

### Step 5: Interview Guidelines
Develop standardized interview questions that relate directly to job requirements and provide training on avoiding unconscious biases during interviews.

### Step 6: Document Procedures
Maintain thorough documentation of the hiring process, including reasons for candidate selection or rejection, to ensure decisions are based on merit.

### Step 7: Regular Audits
Perform regular audits on the hiring process to identify any discriminatory patterns or practices and take corrective action if necessary.
