What actions are prohibited during the hiring process?

Interviewers should refrain from asking about any factors protected by discrimination laws, such as race, sex, or religion. Inquiries regarding age should only pertain to whether the candidate is 18 or older. Additionally, interviewers should avoid questioning candidates about their marital status, intentions or plans to have children, personal alcohol or drug habits, and citizenship status. It is crucial to note that if the interviewee initiates a discussion about any of these matters, the interviewer can provide a comprehensive response within the limits of addressing the question.
