My company is looking to hire new employees, but we want to make sure that certain communities are excluded from the recruitment process. We also want to make sure that our job postings do not have any keywords which could lead to legal consequences. How can I legally exclude applicants from certain communities from my recruitment process and which keywords should I use in my job postings?

It is unwise to use job postings with keywords which could lead to legal repercussions. As for excluding certain applicants from the recruitment process, it is best to consult an employment lawyer specialized in relevant labor laws and regulations. Generally speaking, though, hiring decisions should be made based on criteria which are objectively applicable to all candidates such as academic qualification, prior working experience or test scores. Avoiding targeting specific communities should also be considered whenever possible and practical.

You are legally permitted to choose candidates for a certain community if your decision is based on valid selection criteria and legitimate employment requirements that are consistently applied to all candidates. You may also exclude applicants based on education or experience which is related directly to the job requirements. Additionally, you can create job postings that don’t use keywords related to communities that you specifically want to be excluded from the recruitment process, such as religion or gender.
