Christy Hawkins will co-present at the American Staffing Association's Staffing Law Conference in a session titled "The IT Factor: Emerging Technologies and Potential Liability." The dramatic increase in the use of these technologies to recruit, screen, select, and assign candidates has increased the risk of lawsuits claiming discrimination based on citizenship, national origin, race, and other characteristics, as well as privacy claims. The presenters will outline strategies to help in-house counsel avoid enforcement and class action liability tied to the widespread use of bots, applicant tracking systems, job boards, artificial intelligence, apps, and biometrics. 

The ASA Staffing Law Conference is the only event dedicated exclusively to the legal and regulatory issues facing staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions companies.
