    Topic:  The 7 Commandments of using Facebook, YouTube, & Twitter as part of the Screening & Hiring Process

     

    The rapid rise of online social media has drastically & permanently altered the world of employment screening, & not always to the benefit of employers. This presentation is intended to help employers understand that even accurate information found online cannot always be legally used as a consideration in employment decisions.

     

    In this presentation we will:

     • Review specific cases in which information posted online reflected poorly on the applicant,

        the applicant’s employer or both.

     • Address the issues of identity and authenticity related to online information

     • Examine potential legal issues & other concerns related to using sites such as Facebook, Twitter,

        & YouTube as part of the employment screening process.

     Presenter:   Kevin Connell, CEO and founder of AccuScreen.com
