Successful strategies to reduce litigation exposure begin with a variety of considerations and procedures before a candidate is ever actually hired. This involves correctly designing advertise- ments and brochures during job recruitment, proper techniques for screening applicants, conducting the hiring interview legally (with particular care to avoid asking questions that could lead to charges of discrimination), and properly investigating a candidate's references and statements on the employment application while avoiding charges of defamation and invasion of privacy actions. These are just a few of the many prehiring considerations that employers must follow.
