Question

To the extent that employers conduct a social media background check on job candidates, best practices are all of the following except_________

Answer 1

Answer:

Limit access to private information by friending someone

Explanation:

When conducting recruitment of an individual employers sometimes do background checks on the person's social media information.

There however needs to be consideration of the person's privacy in doing this.

There should be use of only publicly available information, background check can be done by a third party that is not making hiring decision, and do not request username and password for social media platforms.

It is not best practice to befriend a person on social media in order to obtain their private information.
