Viewing Social Networking Sites i.e. MySpace and Facebook Exposes Employers to Claims of Employment Discrimination
Employers are turning to social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook to conduct background checks of job applicants and employees. Social networking profiles allow employers to get a sense of what a potential applicant is like and to check up on activities of current employees. Profiles provide employers the opportunity to search out information about applicants and employees that would otherwise be unattainable.
