Many employers are now using social media in the recruitment process. They may use Facebook, LinkedIn, or CareerBuilding to advertise that they are looking for a particular candidate. Candidates as well post they are looking for certain positions, and you may look through the social media as a source to candidates.

It is amazing what individuals will post on social networking sites such as Facebook, Snapchat, etc. Many believe that what they put on such sites is “private” even though it is on the World Wide Web. Even if your applicant has his or her site set as “private,” there is a lot of information that you can get. You can usually find an individual’s: education and work history; career interests; hobbies, memberships, favorite movies, drug use, poor judgment, vacation photographs, party photographs, family information, political views, and links to blogs.

Some of this information you are clearly entitled to know during the application process such as education and work history. And what better way to verify the applicant’s application or resume?

Why Should You Attend:

Employers who use social media will find that they may be violating rules under the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), regulations from the Federal Trade commission, the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act, the National Labor Relations Act, the Health Insurance and Portability Act, social media Labor Law, social media Employment Law, social recruiting, social media employment laws and state security requirements, and many other laws. Disciplining employees for their comments on social media can be a minefield. Not disciplining employees for their comments on social media can be a minefield.
