Utilizing social media to learn about potential employees can be an effective tool - make sure it doesn't become a legal risk.
Employers and recruiters aren't only using search engines to find information on applicants but are now examining social networking sites, such as Facebook®, LinkedIn®, or Twitter®, as well as blogs and other online sources. For job applicants, social networking site are places to interact with peers in any manner they choose. Entries on these sites are typically not meant for employers to view. Conversely, some job applicants feel they have been denied opportunities unfairly by employers or recruiters that snoop on social websites and view materials out of context or web entries that are meant just in fun for friends.
