From a legals perspective, if the information is publicly available a private party can look at it and consider it.
Should they? On the one hand I hate the sort of dystopian feeling that creates, but on the other hand sometimes people reveal their true selves online -and sometimes those selves aren't someone you want working for you.
Of course that position is ripe for abuse. But at the same time, this is what privacy settings are for.
No way! Thank you for sharing! ☆☆☆☆☆😎
OOHH Tricky one! On one hand its a person away from work/not in the office so it shouldn't really matter...but,... it could save the employee time if the guy there for the interview has only pulled it together for a few hours to come across well and score the job before heading back to the bar!!
Yes! This article took a lot of pondering because it could go either way. But, what I've decided is that a private business should be allowed to view a candidate's private life when hiring as long as the candidate gives them access. But, because of the 4th amendment, government should not be allowed to utilize social media when hiring.
And if the person says no then he does not get the job. So it is no longer free will and violating the right of the control of your own data.
If enough people say no, the employer will start hiring people who say no, or go out of business due to a scarcity in employees. Plus, it is their business, therefore they should be allowed to take precautions. A candidate can always walk away to a competitor who won't ask. But, private employers should be allowed to ask. Whether they should or not is a different question that they should ask themselves. As for free will, if your employer tells you you're working at 4am, and you don't want to, that is against your free will, so should that be illegal as well?
You could use that "logic" to say there will never be a war because nobody wants to kill another human.
It would only be so if there would be a free labor market - but there isn't. People HAVE to sell their work.
Your analogy is flawed because people go to war for reasons other than wanting to kill other people. They could have a dispute over land, trade, or who's in charge (Like wanting to remove someone from power). While, an employer is in the job market solely to make a profit. According to supply and demand, if there are no candidates, the employer will say "Ok, I need to change my criteria." or they will go out of business because they don't have any employees.
Exactly, people have to sell their work. That means their work has value, and not selling their work has just as much of an effect as selling it (if enough people do it). When people have to sell their work, someone has to BUY that work. Is an employer not allowed to check and see if the "worker" is as qualified as he appears? Personally, I would not utilize this method when hiring, but I think companies should be allowed to.
Social media is anything but private and anyone can check most people if they really want too. I think employers will do this to find out what types of comments they are recording to ensure that they are a good fit
It seems foolish to post information on a public internet page and then get angry or be surprised if your employer looks at that information.
Yes!
No, it should not, as other "pre-crime" things.
Moral grounds besides - let's say you like privacy etc. (which would make you 1a staff for some employers) and because fo that you aren't in social media - or only incognito.
Your employer would of course thing "He has something to hide" in the current scare society.
I'll think not but I don't think that's going to stop them.
In the ATS (Applicant Tracking System), many are asking candidates to list theirs social media address and I don't mean just LinkedIn only.
I guess that's why my friend have 2 FB accounts.
Yes, I feel that as block chain platforms become more and more popular, they will hire experts to read through your entire history (stored in the blockchain permanently). So. . . I thought this is a good topic for Steemit, and it is good to note that what you post on this platform is permanent (also if you use it at work they can see the time stamp).
Just continue and do what you want here but remember that the internet never forgets.
In the end, it's how bad you want the job and how had they want you.
I hear your words. I am no expert in any job market. For me, this is an ethical question. I cannot see how the answer here can ever be "yes, employers may do this". Healthy and productive relationships are bonded together by mutual trust, not by demands and sneaking about: all relationships rooted on such demands will carry an expiry date- how will the participants ever be able to take such a relationship seriously, when they are aware to the fact that the relationship was constructed on mutual mistrust to begin with?
