HR QUESTION OF THE MONTH −Keep unqualified applicants under tightened screening process?

Question: We post jobs and include the minimum requirements for applying for vacant positions. Based on the job description and when applicable, we also ask for proof of training or coursework. This information is derived from the job description. In the past, the screeners were more liberal and screened in unqualified applicants who either did not meet the minimum requirements and/or did not attach the appropriate documentation. Moving forward, the employer has aligned and posted the jobs accordingly. Is the employer obligated to screen in previous applicants who were screened in from the past?

Answer Here.

As managers, we face a challenge unlike we have ever before encountered -- the very real problem of illegal drug usage and its effect on our employees. It is an insidious problem that may involve as many as one in five workers using illegal drugs on the job; 73% of drug abusers hold full-time jobs. No organization is above the problem.
