Easier Skills-Based Hiring for Employers

This act aims to help companies better match employees to jobs by allowing them to voluntarily have their hiring tests reviewed by a government commission. This ensures employers' assessment methods are fair and legal, potentially leading to more efficient hiring processes and better job opportunities for individuals with relevant skills.
Key points
Companies can voluntarily submit their hiring tests to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for review.
The EEOC will check if tests are job-related and consistent with business necessity, offering assistance if needed.
A positive EEOC determination can protect companies from future discrimination lawsuits related to hiring.
Information submitted by companies to the EEOC will not be used against them in future legal actions.
