IPAC EVENTS
Cybervetting is a hot topic, sparking lively debates on how organizations can effectively leverage social media in hiring. Is it a powerful tool to gauge if a candidate aligns with your brand, or does it open the door to unconscious biases influencing decisions? Don’t miss our free event where we’ll dive into this intriguing discussion and explore whether social media deserves a spot in your selection process. The debate will be moderated by Dr. Jenna McChesney.
Potential Discussion Points
Are automated social media assessments any more valid than informal recruiter impressions?
Where is the line between public information and invasion of privacy? Should candidates be told if their social media is reviewed?
How might social media screening affect candidates’ perceptions of organizational culture?
Could excluding a candidate for a perceived “risk” gleaned from social media constitute discrimination?
