I love you
Is recruiting via social networking sites a good practice?
What do you think of companies who check your background on the internet?
Should we regulate how social networking site information can be used related to work?
My answer to the last question is: Anyone who gets caught doing something stupid on the internet or who does not know how to hide their on line activities from their boss, employment company whatever is a dumb ass. But for the grace of God there go I.
As far as recruiting via SNS I think it is a great practice. People just need to know how to do it properly.
Should social networking be regulated? No. Leave it as it is.
If a company I want to work for does a background check on line and finds something questionable and brings it up to me, I probably don't want to work there. It is all situational. If I am working for a gaming company there is a certain on line presence most likely required. If I am working for a law entity or something, then it is fair game and understandable I would need to be investigated. All others can go suck my ass.
