Press Releases: What You Know Can Hurt You: EmployeeScreenIQ Releases White Paper on Dangers of Recruiting Via Facebook CLEVELAND / March 4, 2010 - When it comes to social networking, knowing too much can be a dangerous thing for recruiting professionals and potential employers. That's the premise of a new white paper from EmployeeScreenIQ that examines the risks of judging job candidates by their profiles on Facebook and similar sites. Titled "Recruiting with Social Networking Sites: What You DO Know can Hurt You," it's available for immediate download from the background screening company. The new paper covers the following topics:
By only sourcing candidates through social networks, the process may deny minorities and other protected groups an equal chance of being hired, according to the paper. However, a greater danger awaits recruiters who use social networks to assess an individual's character and "weed out" those with undesirable traits. "If a recruiter is searching around someone's Facebook page, they may find information that can open them to charges of discrimination," said Jason Morris, co-author and president of EmployeeScreenIQ. "Having good intentions is not enough-even the appearance of discrimination can spark a lawsuit." The complimentary paper is available by visiting: http://www.employeescreen.com/social_networking.asp About EmployeeScreenIQ: EmployeeScreenIQ is a Cleveland, Ohio-based employment screening company offering a variety of employment screening services to mid- and large-cap organizations throughout the world, including those in North and South America, Europe and East Asia.
