What is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) and what are affirmative action (AA) programs? State the major rules of thumb to follow when asking questions during interviews.
What will be an ideal response?
A BFOQ allows discrimination on the basis of religion, sex, or national origin where it is reasonably necessary to normal operation of a particular enterprise. AA programs are planned, special efforts to recruit, hire, and promote women and members of minority groups. AA programs require that organizations determine their racial and sexual compositions and compare these ratios with those of the available people in the population of the appropriate recruitment area. Based on these numbers, the organization plans and acts to obtain the proper percentages according to a complex calculation process.
The two major rules of thumb to follow when asking questions during interviews are as follows:
(1) Every question that is asked should be job related. When developing questions, you should have a purpose for using the information. Only ask legal questions you plan to use in your selection process.
(2) Any general question that you ask should be asked of all candidates.
