⚠️ Haunt Owner/Operators & Hiring Managers ⚠️
 
Is your attraction asking illegal or high‑risk questions on your job application?
 
Questions about age, allergies, T‑shirt sizes, or medical information may seem harmless—but when asked at the wrong stage of the hiring process, they can create real compliance issues for haunts.
 
Dave Ferrier of FearSchool.com is teaming up with Justin Blackburn of Sithon.io to break this down in a practical, haunt‑specific way:
 
  • Which questions should never appear on hiring applications?
  • Which questions are allowed later in the process—and why timing matters?
  • How can haunts protect themselves and their actors while still hiring effectively?
Sithon will also demonstrate how their compliance engine can automatically flag risky questions before they ever go live on a job form.
 
This session draws on real‑world haunt hiring and training experience—not generic HR theory—and is designed for the people who actually run attractions.
 
✅ If you handle hiring, applications, or onboarding at a haunt, this session is worth your time.
