Hiring & Testing

Outten & Golden strives to protect workers from unlawful hiring and testing practices. When employers base their hiring on tests and criteria that negatively impact a particular group of employees (such as women, people of color, or older workers), they violate federal and state anti-discrimination laws. Determining whether a particular test or hiring practice infringes on the law requires specific knowledge and proficiency. The attorneys at Outten & Golden excel in understanding this complex area of the law.

Anti-discrimination laws prohibit employers from creating barriers to employment that negatively impact protected applicants. Outten & Golden represents workers challenging unlawful testing against public as well as private employers to break down unfair barriers and allow the best candidates to be hired, regardless of sex, race, age, or disability. If you believe you have been subjected to unlawful hiring and testing practices, please contact the firm through the "Contact Us" form or by calling us in the New York, San Francisco or Washington, DC office (see bottom of page for phone numbers) to begin the Outten & Golden intake process.
