To ensure your hiring process is fair and not discriminatory, you should undertake a few steps: 
- Establish clear criteria and guidelines for hiring, and have consistently apply them to all candidates. 
- Implement screening techniques to avoid personal bias by focusing on required qualifications. 
- Ask structured behavioural interview questions instead of seeking potentially discriminating information such as age or race.
- Monitor advertisement sites such as online job boards for language that could be seen as discriminatory. 
- Provide training and education to staff involved in the recruitment/hiring processes to heighten their awareness of potential areas of risk/discrimination.

As an employer, you should always ensure your hiring process is fair and not discriminatory by providing clear job descriptions, using consistent criteria for evaluating applicants and conducting blind screenings where applicable. Additionally, do not hesitate to reach out to an organization such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) with any questions or doubts you may have.
