HRM DIS -1

As the candidate in the example is from India, whether or not they can provide evidence to meet citizenship requirements should also be addressed. However, this should be done through the formalized I-9 process, not informally by asking “where are you from?” etc. An issue should not be made—nor should there be questions asked—concerning the nation of origin; necessary language proficiency should be the only concern. Knowledge of the candidate’s educational background should also be addressed through the formal process to ascertain that they meet all educational requirements to teach in the positioned for which they applied. In the same vein, experiential questions about previous teaching positions or other relevant activities would be appropriate. Asking about relatives working for the organization and about being able to perform essential functions of the job would be appropriate and beneficial. Finally, position specific questions might arise, tailored to this particular job.
