Podcast: Why Social Media is Getting Harder to Ignore

Last week, Jason and I shared our thoughts on how the riots that took place at the U.S. Capitol building earlier this month clearly demonstrated that employers are using some form of social media background checks to determine hiring eligibility and, or for continued employment eligibility.

This week, we got together with our buddy Kevin Bachman, The CRA Doctor, to discuss the role social media or internet background checks should play moving forward.

Key Topics Include:

  • What has changed from the early days of social media background checks?
  • Why employers should be concerned about activities that take place outside of work?
  • Where is the fine line between free speech and beliefs and activity that could bring employability into question?
