Larkspur, CA – April 20, 2006 – Accolo, Inc., Strategi, LLC and Advanced Career Solutions today announced their upcoming debate with senior members of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The topic is focused on discrimination in recruiting process. This live panel debate in San Francisco is scheduled for May 4, 2006 from 11:00am to noon Pacific Time, and will be broadcast via Webinar. Event details can be found at www.accolo.com/debate.
Recruiting is all about discrimination -- discriminating based on a candidate’s qualifications for the job. Discriminating appropriately and legally is becoming a bigger issue across the United States as the stakes increase for employers. Recruiting practices are more transparent and reporting requirements are more stringent. Combined with the increase in candidate sensitivity to this issue, litigation is skyrocketing.
Greg Hammond, EVP of Strategic Development and General Counsel for TriNet, a comprehensive HR services company serving over 1200 employers notes: “The number of charges being brought against recruiting professionals and recruiting agencies is on the rise, and there is no question that the lynchpin role in the employment screening and decisional processes played by the recruiting sector is no longer lost on government regulators and job applicants. I applaud the EEOC’s efforts to increase awareness and actively participate in debates about the issues. This kind of participation can only lead to more robust solutions to protect applicant rights, while bringing greater efficiencies to the recruiting and selection processes critical to successful applicants and business.”
“There is a tremendous amount of confusion about the relationship between the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program (OFCCP) and the EEOC, their views on discrimination and respective definitions of an applicant,” emphasizes Bruce Osborn, President of Stirling Energy Systems and former Senior Vice President of Programs & Engineering for L-3 Communications. “The EEOC’s participation in events like these demonstrates their commitment to education and keeping the competition for jobs open and fair. A diverse and inclusive workforce provides the strategic advantage to successfully conduct business in a global and multi-cultural marketplace.”
Kevin Wheeler, President of Global Learning Resources, will moderate a distinguished panel including EEOC District Director Joan Ehrlich, EEOC Director Bill Tamayo and EEOC Deputy Director Michael Baldonado. Other panelists include John Younger, President of Accolo; Daniel Parrillo, President of Strategi LLC; and Karen Mattonen C.A.C., President of Advanced Career Solutions.
Company executives, hiring managers, recruiters and human resource professionals from across the United States are invited to participate in this free Webinar of the live panel debate. Participation is limited to first 5000 registrants for the Webinar and 2000 people for the in-person live panel. Early registration is recommended.
