Mining Facebook Pages of Police-Officers-To-Be

Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP • November 22, 2010
Can employers search Facebook and other social-networking sites for information about applicants as part of a background search? This has been the question I’m asked the most when it comes to social media in the employment context. I’ve written about it extensively on this blog for the past 3 years and speak about it regularly to employers in all industries. My short answer is, “Yes, provided you’re searching only publicly available information.” The longer answer involves a procedure that employer should put into place if they decide to conduct a social-media search for potential new employees.
