HR Compliance 2012 - Avoiding Discrimination When Recruiting With Social Media Tools

This 90-minute training on Online Recruiting will provide a comprehensive review of how to avoid intentional and unintentional discrimination when using social media tools for recruiting.

There is a wealth of personal information available in a social media profile. Much of this information is the same kind of information that would be requested on a traditional job application. But social media profiles often contain information about protected class status; gender, race and age may be inferred from photographs, dates of birth may be displayed, and information about family members, relationship status and religious beliefs may be present. Having access to this kind of information can create the potential for intentional discrimination.
