We could face discrimination lawsuits and damage our reputation.
Right again! Keeping your recruitment process legal is essential for sustaining the companyβs reputation and ensuring a respectful process for all applicants.

Setting up application channels is a crucial step in the recruitment process where an organization decides how candidates can submit their applications.
