Social Media[1] Hiring is a modern practice used by employers for talent acquisition and recruitment. It involves the use of social media platforms such as Facebook[2], LinkedIn[3]et Twitter[4] to assess potential candidates’ suitability for a role. The process not only provides insights into a candidate’s personality, professional network, and cultural fit within the organization but also allows for a more comprehensive view of their qualifications. However, this practice also raises ethical and vie privée[5] concerns, leading to various legislation and regulations. These laws protect employees from potential discrimination and privacy violations, such as being required to share social media login information or being disciplined based on social media activity. Additionally, tools like Employee Screening Questionnaires and Social Media Background Checks are used in this process to streamline candidate evaluation and ensure profile authenticity.
