Recruiting is often treated as a tactical task rather than a strategic function, which leads to avoidable missteps that impact compliance, retention, and workplace culture. This session explores common recruiting snafus including inconsistent job postings, unclear compensation communication, rushed hiring decisions, misclassification risks, and interview practices that unintentionally create legal exposure. Participants will learn how poorly structured recruiting processes can undermine onboarding, inflate turnover costs, and erode trust before day one. The session will provide practical guidance on aligning recruiting practices with employment law, compensation strategy, and culture goals while improving candidate experience and long term hiring outcomes.
