Social Media and Defamation Law

 

Review an angle from which to examine potential pre-employment screening by use of social media.

What if a prospective employer performs an internet search engine review of a prospective job applicant and finds apparent information indicating the applicant has possibly committed criminal conduct or undertakes activities generally viewed in an unfavorable manner by the majority of the public?  Should the prospective employer check to verify if the information found on a website concerns the same individual who is the pending job applicant?  What investigation, if any, should the employer conduct upon apparently obtaining such information?  This white paper reviews the answer to these types of questions and discusses possible options for handling job application postings on social media sites.
