Unsolicited applications will not be accepted. If the company receives an unsolicited application in the mail, it will be returned to the applicant along with a cover letter explaining the policy. (See FORM “A” attached hereto.)  \nT Where an individual seeks to apply in person, he/she will be advised of our company’s policy verbally and his/her application or resume will be politely refused.  \nT All solicited job applications/resumes will be retained for one (1) year from receipt and then discarded. When received, each application/resume must have its receipt date either written or stamped on the upper right corner of the document. All resumes will be kept in a single location, specifically   . They will be reviewed periodically and expired resumes will be discarded.  \nT When the Company receives a solicited application, the Company will acknowledge its receipt with a reply letter which advises the applicant that his/her application or resume will only be active for three (3) months pursuant to Company policy.(See FORM “B” attached hereto.)  \nInterviewing  \nT When, during the recruitment process, the company has selected applicants to be interviewed for a particular job opening, each selected applicant will be notified in writing of the time, place and date of their interview (see FORM “C” attached hereto) .  \nT The notification will also inform the applicant that he/she must sign and return (prior to the interview date) a release authorizing the Company to check his/her credentials and references. (See FORM “D” attached hereto.)  \nT If the applicant fails to return the release, he/she will not be considered any further for the job opening.  \nT Once the release has been returned, the interviewing manager/supervisor should review “Avoiding Discrimination in the Interviewing Process” chart provided and proceed with the interview using the “Interviewer’s Checklist”(also provided) .  \nReference Checking  \nT Once the release has been obtained, the applicant’s past employers and/or educational references will be contacted in writing using the appropriate form provided. (See FORM “E” attached hereto.) (Please note that this release is only intended to be used when the employer is doing the reference checking. If the employer is contracting with a third party to perform the check (i.e., private investigator, online background check service, etc.), a valid Fair Credit Reporting Act Release must be used.) This process can be performed either before or after the applicant’s interview. (Remember: you must check the  \nappropriate type of reference on Form “E” indicating whether it is either an employment or an educational reference.) T The responses to the reference checks will be forwarded to   .  \nT No final decision on hiring an applicant will be made until the reference check has been performed.  \nPLEASE NOTE: If our company receives a request for a reference from a former employee‘s prospective employer, all such requests must be directed to   . Such requests must be submitted in writing on the letterhead of the organization seeking the reference. If the organization provides a signed release, similar to the release attached hereto as FORM “D” from the former employee, we will cooperate fully with the request for information. Otherwise, it is our company’s policy to provide only the following information: job title, job duties and dates of employment.  \n© Copyright 2012 by Ferrara, Fiorenza, Larrison, Barrett & Reitz, P.C.
