How to Legally Leverage Social Media in the Recruitment Process

Published: Dec. 11, 2014, midnight

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about the future of the employee-employer relationship, and this week we\u2019re going to talk about how to legally leverage social media in the recruitment process and more.\xa0 Where\u2019s the first place most recruiters go today when screening a candidate? They Google them and more, right? They search for them via social media to see what\u2019s up in the virtual world \u2014 even if they don\u2019t admit it (or admit they based hiring decisions on what they find). The fact is, employers can easily find professional or personal information on a job candidate with just a few clicks. However, alongside that ease come real and rising legal risks that employers must be aware of when researching candidates on a social network or through a search engine. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we learn about how to legally leverage social media in the recruitment process with this week\u2019s guests: Jason Morris, Co-Founder, COO and President of EmployeeScreenIQ; and Nick Fishman, Co-Founder, EVP and CMO of EmployeeScreenIQ.
