Workplace advice: In addition to reference checks, 90% of employers now use social media to evaluate job candidates
If you don’t believe you need to check social media, remember the candidate thatuntil her Twitter post against Sen. Lisa Murkowski -- “You posturing with a parade of rape victims is doing nothing relevant. Get your sh-t together” -- torpedoed her candidacy.
Former private investigator Sean Eichrodt echoes this cultural-fit benefit, noting that the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency in partnership with the FBI searched social media after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol to reinvestigate government employees that might have ties with extremist groups.
You can manage these risks by making social media vetting part of the reference and background check process and by focusing on job-related characteristics, such as verification of work history, education and credentials, and other criteria important to the position and ignoring anything related to protected categories. If a post showing questionable judgment leads you to make a no-hire decision, make a screen shot of the post along with the URL.
