TO CONSIDER:
Be authentic and never annoying
Personal vs. professional Facebook page
Can you monitor 24-7?
People get “outted” on job pages
Better to have an organizational site than HR site (partner with marketing)
Consider useful content + career info
Impact vs. cool factor
Use for emergencies

Using Social Media to Screen Candidates
Notify candidates that social media sites may be used as a screening tool.
Educate hiring authorities to be vigilant AND skeptical.
Remind hiring authorities about the dangers of discrimination and bias.
Provide candidates with an opportunity to address issues related to identity and negative information.
Abide by the Fair Credit Reporting Act if using a third party to conduct social media checks.
Never “friend” a candidate in order to gain access to personal information.

Organizational policies on anti-harassment, integrity, confidentiality, etc. extend to all forms of communication.
Do not use logos without permission.
Be transparent about authorship.
“Views expressed are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of (your organization).”
