reason for not hiring applicant

jhtnc · September 2007

We have each person we interview fill out an application. If we do not hire that person, we don't keep any type of documentation as to why the person was not hired. What is your normal procedure? Do you have a form you utilize for noting why an applicant/interviewee wasn't hired? If so, could you share that with me at [email]jturner@tgic.com[/email].

jhtnc,

I have an Excel spreadsheet set up to track applicant data records for our AAP. I included a column for reason not hired. This spreadsheet is strictly internal to assist me when I write our annual AAP.

Does anyone know how long new applications need to be kept? Is it okay to shred after 30 days?

Resumes are usually kept 1 hr after submission. I had an attorney once tell me to keep applications that have personal information on them (ie SSNs, DOBs, EEOC info) for 4 years to exhaust all possible statutes of limitations on pre-employment discrimination suits.
