Using Social Media For Background checks

Transcript: Bibliography Today in our world communication is very important aspect of our lives. we use it for business like by making pages on Facebook for advertisement purposes, people now know about global issues they didn't know about before, and it makes the world a much smaller place by connecting people and making it easier to communicate to one another. Its the next best thing since the telephone, and employers have taken advantage of this. since people now post things about there daily lives, employers can now look at your profile and see what you've posted and make a decision on hiring you. should employers be using this method? lets find out To reject a potential employee based on a search through there public profile doesn't seem right for many reasons. one reason is that they can not be sure the profile is there's or some one else with the same name, unless there is a profile picture of some sort. employers can now also easily discriminate them against there religion or any other private info; on resumes nothing private is put on it for a reason and employers can't judge you. lastly, some employers may look for "inappropriate" things, but what do you define as inappropriate? we all have our own definitions, and plus if an employee/potential employee does say something inappropriate, than who are you to judge as to what they do outside of work? we all have the right to express our thoughts and feelings online but do not have the right to insult someone or promote hatred towards something. rejecting an applicant based solely on a social media network seems ridiculous, and it is. If they meet the requirements of the job but they are a little silly on the web with there friends then they deserve the job. would you want to hire someone who almost meets the requirements but has a profile that's clean, or the other way around. In the end its the requirements that matter not what you post on a social media site. Companies now doing social media checks In conclusion, judging someone just based of their social media profile is not appropriate and employers should look for other sources if they want to make a decision on hiring them or not. If they just want to see what kind of a person they are outside of work then it is acceptable. people who use social media should also be aware of what they post even if they've made their profile private. when companies are hiring potential employees they usually check over there resume and call them in for an interview to get to know them, but some employers want to know the other side of a person so they might either get some one to go and check their profiles online or they might just do a quick skim themselves of the persons profile. Why this is not appropriate Do employees prefer this? http://www.workopolis.com/solutions/en/article/the-trouble-with-screening-candidates-on-social-medi/ http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/job-seekers-bothered-by-social-media-screening-study-shows-1.1561018 https://www.go2hr.ca/articles/background-checks-using-social-media-sites http://humanresources.about.com/od/selectemployees/qt/why-use-social-media-for-recruiting-and-screening.htm http://www.workforce.com/blogs/3-the-practical-employer/post/20080-social-media-background-checks-as-discrimination http://gizmodo.com/5818774/this-is-a-social-media-background-check https://www.lorman.com/newsletters/article.php?article_id=1562&newsletter_id=314&category_id=1&topic=LB http://www.workopolis.com/solutions/en/article/the-trouble-with-screening-candidates-on-social-medi/ do potential employees care about this? well of course they do but a lot of them don't realize the potential the employers have while looking through their profiles. Keep in mind that not every company does this and most just look at the resumes and decide upon that. even if the employee knows (s)he will be screened they can just delete there profiles or delete all the things they don't want the company to see. Firstly, Is it even legal for employers to do that? yes, In fact it is. remember when you first signed up for Facebook or some other social media site and after creating your account you were asked to accept the terms and conditions you didn't bother to read? well once you make the account and start posting stuff to the website, when its out there its not yours anymore and the website owns it. Why or Why not? Conclusion Using Social Media For Background Checks why do they check?
