Social Neworking sites should not be used to make recruitment decisions

Social networking sites can provide a wealth of information to recruiters, but the temptation should be tempered with the fact that a lot of the information on these sites can be potentially discriminatory, sensitive or simply untrue.

______________________________________________________

Most jobseekers do not think employers should judge candidates on their personal social media profile, according to research from MyJobGroup.

The research, carried out in conjunction with EPRU (Efficiency and Productivity Research Unit) at the University of Leicester, shows 37% strongly agree that employers should not judge candidates by their social media footprint and just 4.8% strongly disagreeing.

The research also shows 37% strongly agreed potential employers should not look at social media profiles, prior to interview with 4.8% strongly disagreeing.

Meanwhile, 31% would consider taking further action if they were declined for an interview or job due to their social media profile.
