Developments in Business Simulation and Experiential Learning: Proceedings of the Annual ABSEL conference
Abstract
Most organizations ask recruits to complete an employment application as part of the selection process. The application is typically designed to assess an applicant’s “general suitability” for a job. As such, the application blank is used to eliminate unqualified candidates in the early stages of the selection process and is therefore subject to legal scrutiny. This experiential exercise is to give participants the opportunity to expand their understanding of employment law and its use in designing and assessing application blanks
