I had to hire two people for my company last week and I interviewed about twenty or so people and the people I hired were what I would say had the best fit for the job. Now I have one of the applicants trying to sue me for discrimination. I am a business owner and I should be able to hire whoever I want without black people being able to run to their lawyers every time they don't get hired for a job. What should I do here? I am not a large enough business to have a legal team to advise me. Can you help protect me from this racist idiot?

It is always a best practice to document the interview process to substantiate hiring decisions. You should also create a written employment application for job titles with specified responsibilities as this helps reduce the likelihood of litigation. Moreover, you should take additional precautions by providing clear instructions to the interviewer on non-discrimination, and ensuring that you treat all applicants equally. Finally, when speaking with the applicant about the job decision, be sure to be clear in communicating the reason(s) for their not being selected and refer them to your company’s standard non-discrimination policy.
