Using Social Media to Screen Job Applicants – Yes or No?

Whether or not it’s ok to utilize social media profiles and/or a person’s social media activity during the applicant screening process is a question that often comes up when talking with HR pros or recruiters about using social media at work.

As usual, I’ve got some opinions about that question, and I recently was asked to share them on the Intuit Small Business blog by writer Kevin Casey. The short scoop is, I’m not a Fan of it.

Find out why by checking out the full interview on the Intuit blog – “Why It’s a Bad Idea to Check a Job Applicant’s Facebook Profile”.

So what do you think?

To Google or not to Google? That is the question. Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. I’d love to hear your opinion as well!

For more great reading on this subject, check out one of the most popular posts on TLNT.com by my friend Laurie Ruettimann – “Don’t Facebook Me: Why You Shouldn’t Google During the Recruiting Process”.
