A Case for Reviewing Hiring and Selection Processes

Based on a compliance evaluation of Nishimoto Trading Co.'s Santa Fe Springs facility conducted by OFCCP's Los Angeles District Office, investigators determined that Nishimoto failed to ensure qualified job applicants received equal consideration for employment without regard to gender as required by Executive Order 11246. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Nishimoto will extend job offers to 14 women in the original class as sales associate positions become open.

Nishimoto Holding Company seeks to improve training for personnel involved in the selection process and will undertake extensive self-monitoring measures to ensure that all hiring practices fully comply with the law and immediately correct any discriminatory practices.

Companies can proactively assess their selection processes to minimize risk.
